The underlying C libraries provide no mechanism for serializing compressor and
decompressor objects, so actually pickling these classes is impractical.
Previously, these objects would be pickled without error, but attempting to use
a deserialized instance would segfault the interpreter.

line length.  Patch by Emil Lind.

This mitigates the current Aqua Tk refresh problem on OS X 10.9
by backporting 2.7.x behavior and is transparent to the user.

Make it easier for users to make use of the backup _tkinter linked
with the third-party Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks.
The two tkinter variants are now installed in separate directories
under a new lib-tkinter.  This allows per-user selection by
manipulating sys.path, directly or with PYTHONPATH.  If this
proves useful, we can supply a more convenient user interface
to supply the paths.  For now, this remains somewhat experimental.
