This work uncovered the zipimport bug in 2.3a1 -- wish I'd had time to
do this before the release :-(.

the test set as it only tested with a zip archive in the current directory,
but it doesn't work at all for packages when the zip archive was specified
as an absolute path. It's a real embarrassing bug: a strchr call should
have been strrchr; fever apparently implies dyslexia.

Second stupid bug: the zipimport test failed with a name error
__importer__ (which I had renamed to __loader__ everywhere but here).
I would've sworn I ran the test after that change but that can't be true.
What I don't understand that noone reported a failing test_zipimport.py
before the release of 2.3a1.

correct by your lights, it means that-- barring coding errors --it
implements what it intended to implement.

robust. This makes socketserver's close() method callable repeatedly
without error - similar to other file-like objects.

suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit.  The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion:  correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:

1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
   time is in effect.

and

2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.

The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs.  Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.

compiler flags which are necessary to get a clean compile.  The former is
for user-specified optimizer, debug, trace fiddling.  See patch 640843.

Add /sw/lib and /sw/include to setup.py search paths on Darwin to take
advantage of fink goodies.

Add scriptsinstall target to Makefile to install certain scripts from
Tools/scripts directory.

find a more elegant algorithm (OTOH, the hairy new implementation allows
user-written tzinfo classes to be elegant, so it's a big win even if
astimezone() remains hairy).

Darn!  I've only got 10 minutes left to get falling-down drunk!  I suppose
I'll have to smoke crack instead now.

understood now:  it can't work.  Added comments explaining why (it's "the
usual"-- unrepresentable hours in local time --but in a slightly different
guise).

I leave to Fred to sort out.

from its source directory.  Generalize the "workaround" (though
the latter seems a reasonable solution?) to handle this.

The attached patch enables Cygwin Python to
build cleanly against the latest Cygwin Tcl/Tk
which is based on Tcl/Tk 8.3. It also prevents
building against the real X headers, if installed.

Plug the leak that Tim just reported.

- more style consistency crud

Remove broken code in visitDict().  I assume the code was trying to
add set lineno events for each line of a dict constructor, but I think
it was using the wrong object (node instead of k or v).
