Always define getenv(), as suggested by Guido. This means that os.getenv() is also defined for MacPython-OS9 (even though it doesn't actually do anything useful), and it shouldn't hurt on other platforms.

Removed the SetDates warning. The warning is in the readme, and the print statement was too obtrusive (it appeared during the installation process, and the user needed to close the resulting window manually).

n the Mac the frozen import that should fail actually succeeds, and we know it, so skip the test in stead of confusing the end user.

Set the limit for the number of open files to 32 if platform==mac.

Made "ascii" the default encoding for MacPython, as suggested by MvL, and ripped out my previous changes to test_unicode. Doing this for 2.3a1 should give people enough time to complain, if they want to, and then we can see whether we want to do anything about it.

This fixes the problem on Windows - that's the only system where I can
test it.

It leaves sys.argv alone and only changes sys.path[0] to an absolute
pathname.
