This backs out the test changes in 46962 which prevented crashes
by not running the tests via a version check.  All the version checks
added in that rev were removed from the tests.

Code was added to the error handler in connection.c that seems
to work with older versions of sqlite including 3.1.3.

  SQLite versions.
- Added version checks in test suite so that we don't execute tests that we
  know will fail with older (buggy) SQLite versions.

Now, all tests should run against all SQLite versions from 3.0.8 until 3.3.6
(latest one now). The sqlite3 module can be built against all these SQLite
versions and the sqlite3 module does its best to not trigger bugs in SQLite,
but using SQLite 3.3.3 or later is recommended.

but that SF patch 1504676 as written mis-handles

- remove some over-zealous triple-quoting

adjacent triples in the result list describe non-adjacent matching
blocks.  That's _nice_ to have, and Guido said he wanted it.

Not a bugfix candidate:  Guido or not ;-), this changes visible
endcase semantics (note that some tests had to change), and
nothing about this was documented before.  Since it was working
as designed, and behavior was consistent with the docs, it wasn't
"a bug".

follow in a few hours at the latest. Then we should be ready for beta1.

arguments in reverse, the interpreter would infinitely recourse trying to get a
coercion that worked.  So put in a recursion check after a coercion is made and
the next call to attempt to use the coerced values.

Fixes bug #992017 and closes crashers/coerce.py .

See svn.python.org/external/pybench-2.0 for the original import of that
version.

Note that platform.py was not copied over from pybench-2.0 since
it is already part of Python 2.5.
