Closes #9750

Issue #10287: nntplib now queries the server's CAPABILITIES again after authenticating (since the result may change, according to RFC 4643).
Patch by Hynek Schlawack.

The code used to call os.path.join to build a regex but without escaping
the backslash, which lead to test failures on Windows.  Antoine Pitrou
fixed it in 0a94e2f807c7 by enhancing the code to accept both / and \,
with proper escaping, but in my opinion this goes against the distutils
feature freeze, hence this change.

If I grepped correctly, this was the last outdated place.

Also, give a more helpful error message when opened with an invalid mode string.

Distutils-based packages with C extension modules may fail because
Apple has removed gcc-4.2, the version used to build python.org
64-bit/32-bit Pythons.  If the user does not explicitly override
the default C compiler by setting the CC environment variable,
Distutils will now attempt to compile extension modules with clang
if gcc-4.2 is required but not found. Also as a convenience, if
the user does explicitly set CC, substitute its value as the default
compiler in the Distutils LDSHARED configuration variable for OS X.
(Note, the python.org 32-bit-only Pythons use gcc-4.0 and the 10.4u
SDK, neither of which are available in Xcode 4.  This change does not
attempt to override settings to support their use with Xcode 4.)

Reedy.
