sys.path instead of assuming __file__ works.

This broke cPickle.

in the build tree, when the current directory is the build tree root.

size of uploads to POST (new version of these patches).

This silences some compilers.

No idea if this actually works...

Still have to find a way to add symbols that *are* defined...

Solaris and Linux: use os.O_NONBLOCK.

searches /usr/local, /usr and /.

would always be a hit.   Prevent this by only using VPATH if we know
we are in the build directory.

otherwise laudible attempt to rationalize the argument parsing): it
would save a copy of the original string instead of a reference to it.
Go back to saving a reference, but keep the "s#" format (using a hack
that involves two argument parsing steps, first using "O", then using
"s#").

- Window has a titlebar, and title() changes it
- The label is changed with label()
- The window is now movable-modal

this many bytes have been read, readlines stops.  Because of
buffering, the amount of bytes read is usually at least 8K more than
the hint.

Also changed read() and readline() to use PyArg_ParseTuple().

(Note that the *previous* checkin also fixed error handling and
narrowed the range of thread unblocking for all methods using
fread().)
