to match addition to test_unicode.py.

  There is a silly bug in the fall-back dumbdbm.py database package in
  the Python 1.5.2 standard distro. This bug causes any changes to an
  existing item to generate a new key, even when the key already
  exists.  After many updates, the .dir file used by dumbdbm grows to
  a huge size, and can cause filesystem problems.

added excplicit node * parameter to termvalid argument in
validate_two_chain_ops of parsermodule.c (as proposed by fred)

an attribute value was not escaped, you could get two syntax errors:
one about a missing semicolon and one about an unknown entity.  Now
you get only one about a bogus ampersand.

- added tuple-swapping code to popen2.py

- fixed some runaway indentation in posixmodule.c

  windows.

- added optional mode argument to popen2/popen3
  for unix; if the second argument is an integer,
  it's assumed to be the buffer size.

- changed nt.popen2/popen3/popen4 return values
  to match the popen2 module (stdout first, not
  stdin).

  for the moment, this argument must be left out or set
  to -1 (only the default bufsize is supported, that is)

  function is overridden by a python version which accepts
  *either* a string (old behaviour) or a locale tuple.

- renamed a few methods (for consistency):

        get_locale => getlocale
        get_default_locale => getdefaultlocale
        set_to_default => resetlocale (!)

- the _locale implementation module can now implement
  an optional _getdefaultlocale function.  if that function
  isn't available, a POSIX-based approach is used (checking
  LANG and other environment variables, as usual).
