Probably should be backported.

* Py_BuildValue("(OOO)",a,b,c)  -->  PyTuple_Pack(3,a,b,c)
* Py_BuildValue("()",a)         -->  PyTuple_New(0)
* Py_BuildValue("O", a)         -->  Py_INCREF(a)

type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

This should match the situation in the 1.6b1 tree.

and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.

All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:

long
func(a, b)
	long a;
	long b; /* flagword */
{

and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)

added excplicit node * parameter to termvalid argument in
validate_two_chain_ops of parsermodule.c (as proposed by fred)

For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)

(1) Use PyErr_NewException("module.class", NULL, NULL) to create the
    exception object.

(2) Remove all calls to Py_FatalError(); instead, return or
    ignore the errors -- the import code now checks PyErr_Occurred()
    after calling a module's init function, so it's no longer a
    fatal error for the initialization to fail.

Also did some small cleanups, e.g. removed unnecessary test for
"already initialized" from initfpectl(), and unified
initposix()/initnt().

I haven't checked this very thoroughly, so while the changes are
pretty trivial -- beware of untested code!

style corrections, I presume), found by Jack.  Added warning that this
has not been tested (Jack could only compile and link it).

Alas, I don't have an Indigo, so I could not even compile this.

Setup.in: clarified Tk comments somewhat.
structmodule.c: use memcpy() instead of double precision assignment.

* Fixed memory leaks in socket, select and sv modules: mkvalue("O", v)
  does INCREF(v) so if v is brand new it should be XDECREF'd

* various modules: added 1993 to copyright.
* thread.c: added copyright notice.
* ceval.c: minor change to error message for "+"
* stdwinmodule.c: check for error from wfetchcolor
* config.c: MS-DOS fixes (define PYTHONPATH, use DELIM, use osdefs.h)
* Add declaration of inittab to import.h
* sysmodule.c: added sys.builtin_module_names
* xxmodule.c, xxobject.c: fix minor errors

* Makefile: svmodule.c.proto and svgen.py are gone, svmodule.c came in
	their stead.  Also, pass -DUSE_DL flag to thread.c and give
	the user a possibility to add the -DDEBUG to just thread.c.
* ceval.c: init_save_thread() can be called more than once now.
* svgen.py, svmodule.c.proto, svmodule.c: Removed prototype file and
	replaced it by the generated file.
* thread.c: Added some more checks; added call to DL library when it
	is also used to tell it where the shared arena is so that DL
	can use some other area.
* threadmodule.c: Call init_save_thread from another place.  Also,
	added new function getlocklock() which does to lock objects
	what getfilefile does to file objects.
