Code simplification by eliminating the unnecessary and error-prone
convolutions for the previously weird sign convention in _WorkRep().
Makes the code more understandable, more reliable, and a bit faster.

The underlying bug still exists, but also existed in 2.3.4:
import.c's load_source_module() returns NULL if
PyOS_GetLastModificationTime() returns -1, but
PyOS_GetLastModificationTime() doesn't set any exception when it returns
-1, and neither does load_source_module() when it gets back -1.  This
leads to "SystemError: NULL result without error in PyObject_Call"
on an import that fails in this way.

- Added a chunk of plist data as generated by Cocoa's NSDictionary and
  verify we output the same (including formatting)
- Changed the "literal" plist code to match the raw test data

version of base64.encodestring() so I could control the line length of the
base64 output.

And add an optional argument 'filename' to linecache.checkcache()
to enable checking caches per-file.

Peepholer could be fooled into misidentifying a tuple_of_constants.
Added code to count consecutive occurrences of LOAD_CONST.
Use the count to weed out the misidentified cases.
Added a unittest.

  a) the functionality depended on PyXML before and b) hardly worked to
  begin with.
- Instead, output and require upon input datetime.datetime objects.

  writePlistToString()
- use these two in the resource functions.
- Tweaked module doc string.

_PyString_Resize() readied strings for mutation but did not invalidate
the cached hash value.

the dict(**kwargs) feature.

- fix a minor formatting nit that affected the typeset version

[ 1052399 ] plistlib: add plst resource functionality, fix bugs

the indentation of a comment block to be ignored when reformatting the
block, leading to overly long reformatted lines (too wide by an amount
equal to the indentation width).  Looks like a typo in the original
patch, a 1-character repair.

Applies patch #1051866.  Thanks Felix Wiemann.

know that the newly-started Python process only has 3 filedescriptors
open. Fixes bug 1048808.

os.path.dirname() or os.path.basename() instead
