isSequenceType(), isMappingType(), and isNumberType() in favor
of using abstract base classes.  Also, remove repeat() and irepeat()
in favor of mul() and imul().

After the buildbots have had a go at this.  Will backport to Py3.0.1.
For Py2.7, will just mark as deprecated.

  Make sure the type of the return value of re.sub(x, y, z) is the type

  Add support for asyncore server-side SSL support.  This requires
  adding the 'makefile' method to ssl.SSLSocket, and importing the
  requisite fakefile class from socket.py, and making the appropriate
  changes to it to make it use the SSL connection.

  Added sample HTTPS server to test_ssl.py, and test that uses it.

  Change SSL tests to use https://svn.python.org/, instead of
  www.sf.net and pop.gmail.com.

  Added utility function to ssl module, get_server_certificate,
  to wrap up the several things to be done to pull a certificate
  from a remote server.
