when output is redirected to a file, compiler error messages show
   up before Distutils prints the command being invoked.

   whether the Distutils being used supports a particularly capability.

   (This idea was originally suggested by Juergen Hermann as a method
    on the Distribution class.  I think it makes more sense as a
    function in core.py, and that's what this patch implements.)

The @euro part is backported to 2.2.3.

Try to write to TESTFN, if that fails, try TESTFN in /tmp
If that fails, print a warning and go on.
Will backport.

Redo setting the selection and setting the beacon to deal better
with rows or columns -- these are now expressed by range (1, sys.maxint).

Joseph Winston recommends removing DYNAMIC_PATH, since it can
cause some dynamic libraries to not load on HP-UX 11.

Cast param to isalnum() to int.

On HPUX, Solaris, Tru64 (Dec UNIX), and IRIX (I think),
O_NONBLOCK is the POSIX version of non-blocking I/O
which is what we want.

On Linux and FreeBSD (at least), O_NONBLOCK and O_NDELAY are the same.
So this change should have no negative effect on those platforms.

Tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX.

Thanks to Anders Qvist for diagnosing this problem.

works.  Also row and column selection works (sort of).  The DEL
key deletes the selected rectangle.  sys.argv[1] used by test_gui().

preference of using "is" instead of "==" to compare types, use
built-in names where available, and point to the isinstance()
function.

arguments, triggering a warning instead of raising an exception.  (In
1.5.2/2.0, it will print to stderr.)

Bugfix candidate for all previous versions.  This changes behaviour,
but the old behaviour wasn't very useful.  If Distutils version X+1
adds a new keyword argument, using the new keyword means your setup.py
file won't work with Distutils version X any more.
