interested in writing code that is portable across Python versions.

This relies on some personal code that is not yet available, but should
be by the time we release 2.0c1.

longer true.

1. repr(license) will no longer print to stdout and read from stdin;
you have to use license().  `license` is a short message explaining
this.

2. Use lazy initialization so that startup isn't slowed down by the
search for the LICENSE file.

3. repr(license) actually returns the desired string, rather than
printing to stdout and returning ''.  (Why didn't we think of this
before?)

4. Use the pythonlabs license URL as the license fallback instead of
the CNRI license handle.

terminals, not the master end (though it does, on most systems.)

apparently not considered a terminal, and so isatty(3) returns false. So we
skip the test for ttyness of the master side and just check the slave side,
which should really be a terminal.

Py_Initialize()/Py_Finalize() in a loop.  _PyImport_Filetab needed to
be deallocated.  Partial closure of SF #110681, Jitterbug PR#398.

CGI scripts should *not* use /usr/bin/env, since on systems that don't
come standard with Python installed, Python isn't on the default $PATH.

Too bad that this breaks on Linux, where Python is in /usr/bin which
is on the default path -- the point is that you must manually edit
your CGI scripts when you install them.

        definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and
        testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
        false anyway.

get_link_icon():  Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
        $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
        being used.  This can make for faster page display.  Both are
        optional.

make_my_titlegraphic():  Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.

do_env_funcdesc():  Remove debugging print.

handle_rfclike_reference():  Remove trailing colon from first line; it
        doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
        mark off-site links.

references, telling the reader more about what to expect at the other end
of the links.

about how it would be nice to write absolute paths to the temporary
byte-compilation script, but this doesn't work because it screws up the
trailing-slash trickery done to 'prefix' in build_py's 'byte_compile()'
method.

Fixed to use 'execute()' instead of 'os.remove()' to remove the temporary
script: now it doesn't blow up in dry-run mode!

invalid proxy setting.

Minor change to call of unknown_url; always pass data argument
explicitly since data defaults to None.

PEP 42: Add as a feature that urllib handle proxy setting that contain
only the host and port of the proxy.

readline doesn't have it before readline 2.2 and there's no
compile-time way to find out which readline version is in use.

Sigh.  GNU readline sucks.

                       into a usable filename using $ICONSERVER and
                       $IMAGE_TYPE as needed.

get_link_icon():  Function to examine a URL and return the string to use
                  to insert an icon if the link points off-site, if needed
                  and $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON is set.

Adjusted appropriate places to use these new functions.
