Removed obsolete comments about this module not creating or removing actual
files.
Removed obsolete comment about users needing to set template to None after
calling os.fork().

create shared extensions rather than 'ld -G'.  This ensures that shared
extensions link against libgcc.a, in case there are any functions in the
GCC runtime not already in the Python core.

I've added an extra comment about quoting arguments to
IMAP4 commands. Also changed the command descriptions
to show optional extra commands where appropriate.

Fred Drake:
Added example usage for the search() method based on comments from
<Lucas.DeJonge@awtpl.com.au>; elaborated error handling information
when arguments are missing from search() and uid().

up-to-date with respect to the source files; that way, we
don't needlessly rebuild just because object files go away.

  dictionaries in 'self.command_options' to 'get_option_dict()'.
Simplified code in 'parse_config_files()' and 'parse_command_line()'
  accordingly.
Fixed code in constructor that processes the 'options' dictionary
  from the setup script so it actually works: uses the new
  'self.command_options' dictionary rather than creating command
  objects and calling 'set_option()' on them.

Changed the exception-handling code in 'setup()' to re-raise exceptions
  if DEBUG is true.

attempt to verify the bold assertions in the documentation):
  * entries for the "root package" in 'package_dir' didn't work --
    fixed by improving the fall-through code in 'get_package_dir()'
  * __init__.py files weren't installed when modules-in-packages
    were listed individually (ie. in 'py_modules' in the setup script);
    fixed by making 'check_package()' return the name of the __init__
    file if it exists, and making 'find_modules()' add an entry to
    the module list for __init__ if applicable

This patch adds a comment about quoting to the doc string,
and also checks that the 'flags' argument to the STORE command
is appropriately enclosed inside parentheses to avoid quoting.

  * 'first_line_re' loosened up
  * command description improved
  * replaced '_copy_files()' and '_adjust_files()' with one method

    efficient than Bastian's version, should behave better in
    dry-run mode, and does timestamp dependency-checking

necessary to support it.

Details:
  - build command additionally calls build_scripts
  - build_scripts builds your scripts in 'build/scripts' and adjusts the
    first line if it begins with "#!" and ends with "python", optionally
    ending with commandline options (like -O, -t ...).  Adjusting means we
    write the current path to the Python interpreter in the first line.
  - install_scripts copies the scripts to the install_scripts dir
  - install_data copies your data_files in install_data. You can
    supply individual directories for your data_files:

    data_files = ['doc/info.txt', # copy this file in install_scripts dir
      ('testdata', ['a.dat', 'b.dat']), # copy these files in
                                        # install_scripts/testdata
      ('/etc', ['packagerc']),    # copy this in /etc. When --root is
                                  # given, copy this in rootdir/etc
    ]

    So you can use the --root option with absolute data paths.

often, ftp URLs hang in the final close.  Further analysis suggests
that this is because the close hook in addclosehook() calls the hook
before acually closing the connection.  The hook, in this case, waits
for the '226 Transfer complete' status from the server on the command
socket.  However, more and more ftp servers only send this status when
the data socket has actually been closed -- causing a deadlock.

The fix is simple: in addclosehook.close(), call addbase.close()
*before* calling the closehook.

now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

Lots of typo fixes (a bit too much cut-and-paste in this module)
Aliases removed: attr_on, attr_off, attr_set
Lowercased the names COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER
#ifdef's for compiling on Solaris added (need to understand SYSV curses
    versions better and generalize this)
Bumped version number bumped to 1.6

Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block.  This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions.  This patch resolves PR#264.

dump the Distribution's 'command_options' dict after parsing config files,
and then after parsing the command line.
