    it absolute by joining it with getcwd result.  avoid including

literal be wrapped in square brackets.  This fix replaces the square
brackets that were previously being stripped off.  Closes SF bug
#110621.

undefined.  ccording to MvL, this is safe: the MS_SYNC flag means that
msync() returns when all I/O operations are scheduled; without it, it
waits until they are complete, which is acceptable behavior.

- fixed attributions
- moved decomposition data to a separate table, in preparation
  for step 3 (which won't happen before 2.0 final, promise!)
- use relative paths in the generator script

I have a lot more stuff in the works for 2.1, but let's leave
that for another day...

a bit, sped it a lot primarily by removing the unused assumption that None was
a legit bin entry (the function doesn't really need to assume that there's
anything special about 0), added an optional "trace" argument, and in __debug__
mode added exhaustive verification that the decomposition is both correct and
doesn't overstep any array bounds (which wasn't obvious to me from staring at the
generated C code -- now I feel safe!).  Did not commit a new unicodedata_db.h, as
the one produced by this version is identical to the one already checked in.

than rolling our own with fancy_getopt's 'longopt_xlate' global.

Removed script options -- don't think they ever worked, weren't
  very well thought through, etc.

with the bdist_* commands.

"no", "0", etc. to true/false.

  * options can now be spelled "foo-bar" or "foo_bar" (handled in
    'parse_config_files()', just after we parse a file)
  * added a "[global]" section so there's a place to set global
    options like verbose/quiet and dry-run
  * respect the "negative alias" dictionary so (eg.) "quiet=1" is
    the same as "verbose=0" (this had to be done twice: once in
    'parse_config_file()' for global options, and once in
    '_set_command_options()' for per-command options)
  * the other half of handling boolean options correctly: allow
    commands to list their boolean options in a 'boolean_options'
    class attribute, and use it to translate strings (like "yes", "1",
    "no", "0", etc) to true or false

- use unidb compression for the unicodedata module.  on Windows,
  the new unidatabase module is 120k, down from nearly 600k.

        avoid compiler warnings.

Handle the ****/**** appleevent wildcard when called as a main program, so that it becomes a handy debugging tool (BuildApplet, copy aete resource, apply applescript to it).

Added a workaround for shortcomings in the OSA support: there can be class/property conflicts and passing classes as arguments doesn't work. The package now seems to work.

xml.sax: Fix parse and parseString not to rely on ExpatParser
         Greatly simplify import logic by using __import__

Tiny bug fix to expatreader.py (endDocument was only called after errors).

db_185.h has renamed that function to __db185_open, which it does in DB 3.1.
So don't check whether the function is in -ldb.
