Note: This patch should also be applied to the 1.6 branch.

included in an RPM or other smart installer!).

(allows the same FancyGetopt object to be used multiple times with different
option tables).

Small stylistic changes by VM:
- is_enabled() -> isenabled()
- static ... Py_<func> -> static ... gc_<func>

(except for : and volume:, where they are needed).

- Don't call both AC_CHECK_FUNCS and AC_REPLACE_FUNC for 'hypot', as the
latter already does everything the former does (because it's implemented as
a call to the former.)

- Don't call AC_CHECK_FUNC() without any 'action' clauses or with an action
clause that just defines HAVE_<function>. Instead, call AC_CHECK_FUNCS,
which defines 'HAVE_<function>' of itself, possibly with aditional 'action'
clauses.

No checks are removed by this patch, only moved around, and some duplicates
are removed.

This should catch future version incompatibilities on Windows.  Alas,
this doesn't help for 1.5 vs. 1.6; but it will help for 1.6 vs. 2.0.

Also 'document' it, in README.

Honesty's the best policy.

mark the test as 'skipped', rather than 'failed'.

at all (my computer doesn't have a Sound Blaster), this doesn't mean
there's a bug in linuxaudiodev. The only error the test suite skips
is currently ImportError -- so that's what we raise. If you see a problem
with this patch, say so and I'll retract. If you think raising an ImportError
sucks, you're right -- but I ain't gonna buy a SB and I sure ain't gonna
let the test-suite fail on my machine.
