Fix large file support for BeOS.

This closes SourceForge patch #101773.  Refer to the patch discussion for

This closes SourceForge bug #115928.

not added then, and note what the change was (ncurses, change to a package).

Revised the first paragraph so it doesn't sound like it was written
when 7-bit strings were assumed; note that Unicode strings can be used.

    read the header from the .au file and do a sanity check
    pass only the data to the audio device
    call flush() so that program does not exit until playback is complete
    call all the other methods to verify that they work minimally
    call setparameters with a bunch of bugs arguments

linuxaudiodev.c:
    use explicit O_WRONLY and O_RDONLY instead of 1 and 0
    add a string name to each of the entries in audio_types[]
    add AFMT_A_LAW to the list of known formats
    add x_mode attribute to lad object, stores imode from open call
    test ioctl return value as == -1, not < 0
    in read() method, resize string before return
    add getptr() method, that calls does ioctl on GETIPTR or GETOPTR
        depending on x_mode
    in setparameters() method, do better error checking and raise
        ValueErrors; also use ioctl calls recommended by Open Sound
        System Programmer's Guido (www.opensound.com)
    use PyModule_AddXXX to define names in module

"disciplines" for the __*__() methods, so they should be referred to as
"methods" or "special methods", as appropriate in context.

                 as a parameter; this was the only use of the base
                 constructor or surgical alteration of another object's
                 data attribute.

This change simplifies the constructor requirements for subclasses.

This relates to SourceForge bug #115928.

operations are defined.  This will, hopefully clarify
some of the logic.

Added close test to raise proper error when operations
are performed on closed StringIOs.

Added a position argument to the truncate method.

Added a size argument to readline.

Added PyArg_Parse calls for methods that don't take arguments to
make sure they don't take arguments.

Added missing clode to make the clode test test a close. ;)

ImportError, and a missing driver.

regexdemo.py is obsolete with the regex module.

somewhat useful to learn regular expressions, and this way it'll be
installed on Windows.

Add Unicode support and error handling to AsString().  Both AsString()
and Merge() now return NULL and set a proper Python exception
condition when an error happens; Merge() and other callers of
AsString() check for errors from AsString().  Also fixed cleanup in
Merge() and Tkapp_Call() return cleanup code; the fv array was not
necessarily completely initialized, causing calls to ckfree() with
garbage arguments!

(Also reindented some lines that were longer than 80 chars and
reformatted some code that used an alien coding standard.)

New README for BeOS R5.

Script to regenerate platform-specific modules of constants.

[I moved common paths to variables for easier reading by humans. -- FLD]

This closes SourceForge patch #101781.

Added definition of VERSION so this works as expected.

Do not assume that all platforms using a MetroWorks compiler can use
POSIX threads; the assumption breaks on BeOS.  This fix only helps
for BeOS.

This closes SourceForge patch #101772.

tcp.h is not available on CygWin, so do not try to include it there.

This closes SourceForge patch #101802.

      code, in case someone wants to use it as a keyword paramter.

ZIP_DEFLATED description:  Do not reveal the specific value of the
      constant, since code should only use the symbolic name.

bug #113797.  We should be able to resolve this for the next release.

Reflowed the comments on Monterey (64-bit AIX) to match the flow of the
other platform-specific sections.

Canvas.CanvasItem & Canvas.Group:
- bind lacks an optional "add" param
- unbind lacks an optional "funcid" param
- tkraise/lower should call self.canvas.tag_XXXX

Note: I'm *not* fixing "bbox() return value is inconsistent with
Canvas.bbox()" -- it might break existing code.

raise ValueError.  Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed
all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising
0 to a negative number.  This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true
result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity.
Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply
algorithm.  Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow
does, and will still vary by platform.

Remove some debugging messages - although this code is a complete hack, we dont need to announce it to the world every time they use freeze!

support for the last_is_sticky flag.  A few hard to find bugs may be
fixed by this patch since the old code was buggy.

Apparently, on SunOS 4.1.4_JL (and other?) OSes, -d on an empty string
always returns true.  This closes SF bug #115392.

This should not be used for new code, but will probably make porting
old extensions to 2.0 a lot easier.
