    Introduce truly separate (sub)interpreter objects.  For now, these
    must be used by separate threads, created from C.  See Demo/pysvr for
    an example of how to use this.  This also rationalizes Python's
    initialization and finalization behavior:
    
    Py_Initialize() -- initialize the whole interpreter
    Py_Finalize() -- finalize the whole interpreter
    
    tstate = Py_NewInterpreter() -- create a new (sub)interpreter
    Py_EndInterpreter(tstate) -- delete a new (sub)interpreter
    
    There are also new interfaces relating to threads and the interpreter
    lock, which can be used to create new threads, and sometimes have to
    be used to manipulate the interpreter lock when creating or deleting
    sub-interpreters.  These are only defined when WITH_THREAD is defined:
    
    PyEval_AcquireLock() -- acquire the interpreter lock
    PyEval_ReleaseLock() -- release the interpreter lock
    
    PyEval_AcquireThread(tstate) -- acquire the lock and make the thread current
    PyEval_ReleaseThread(tstate) -- release the lock and make NULL current
    
    Other administrative changes:
    
    - The header file bltinmodule.h is deleted.
    
    - The init functions for Import, Sys and Builtin are now internal and
      declared in pythonrun.h.
    
    - Py_Setup() and Py_Cleanup() are no longer declared.
    
    - The interpreter state and thread state structures are now linked
      together in a chain (the chain of interpreters is a static variable
      in pythonrun.c).
    
    - Some members of the interpreter and thread structures have new,
      shorter, more consistent, names.
    
    - Added declarations for _PyImport_{Find,Fixup}Extension() to import.h.
