Will backport to 2.1 and 2.2.

Close a file before trying to unlink it, and apparently Cygwin needs
writes to an mmap'ed file to get flushed before they're visible.

Bugfix candidate, but I think only for the 2.2 line (it's testing
features that I think were new in 2.2).

Change type_get_doc (the get function for __doc__) to look in tp_dict
more often, and if it finds a descriptor in tp_dict, to call it (with
a NULL instance).  This means you can add a __doc__ descriptor to a
new-style class that returns instance docs when called on an instance,
and class docs when called on a class -- or the same docs in either
case, but lazily computed.

I'll also check this into the 2.2 maintenance branch.

If a str or unicode method returns the original object,
make sure that for str and unicode subclasses the original

Bugfix candidate, but I'll backport it myself.

Avoid adding Python wrappers around the underlying C profiler if possible;
the extra layer of calls can lead to confusion in interpreting the logs.

PyNumber_InPlaceMultiply insisted on calling sq_inplace_repeat if it
existed, even if nb_inplace_multiply also existed and the arguments
weren't right for sq_inplace_repeat.  Change this to only use
sq_inplace_repeat if nb_inplace_multiply isn't defined.
