  The type system of Python 2.6 has subtle differences to 3.0's. I've removed the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flags from bytearray for now. bytearray can't be subclasses until the issues with bytearray subclasses are fixed.

  Re-enabled bytearray subclassing - all tests are passing.

Change GeneratorExit's base class from Exception to BaseException
(This time I'm applying the patch to the correct sandbox.)

Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.

All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.

 - Warn-raise ImportWarning when importing would have picked up a directory
   as package, if only it'd had an __init__.py. This swaps two tests (for
   case-ness and __init__-ness), but case-test is not really more expensive,
   and it's not in a speed-critical section.

 - Test for the new warning by importing a common non-package directory on
   sys.path: site-packages

 - In regrtest.py, silence warnings generated by the build-environment
   because Modules/ (which is added to sys.path for Setup-created modules)
   has 'zlib' and '_ctypes' directories without __init__.py's.

added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception.  It is
also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style.  KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly.  String exceptions now
raise DeprecationWarning.

Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.
