Bug fix candidate for 2.2, not present in 2.1.

pymalloc, apparently. Fixed, but this means all bgen-generated modules will
have to be re-generated.

I hope (and expect) that the pymalloc fixes aren't bugfix candidates, because
if they are this is one too.

Close a file before trying to unlink it, and apparently Cygwin needs
writes to an mmap'ed file to get flushed before they're visible.

Bugfix candidate, but I think only for the 2.2 line (it's testing

Change type_get_doc (the get function for __doc__) to look in tp_dict
more often, and if it finds a descriptor in tp_dict, to call it (with
a NULL instance).  This means you can add a __doc__ descriptor to a
new-style class that returns instance docs when called on an instance,
and class docs when called on a class -- or the same docs in either
case, but lazily computed.

I'll also check this into the 2.2 maintenance branch.
