Call setupterm() first so that we get a Python exception instead of just existing.

wrapper around the system call with the same name.  Also added
test cases, doc changes and NEWS entry. Thanks Jason and Ralf
Schmitt.

with some help from Georg

DEFAULT section any more, because it duplicated sections with
the rest of the machinery. Thanks Tim Lesher and Manuel Kaufmann.

Thanks Alan McIntyre.

a test for this (and because of this test you'll see in stderr a
message that parser.c sends before raising MemoryError).
Thanks Ralf Schmitt.

* Fix-up issues pointed-out by Neal Norwitz.
* Add extensive comments.
* The lz->result variable is now a tuple instead of a list.
* Use fast macro getitem/setitem calls so most code is in-line.
* Re-use the result tuple if available (modify in-place instead of copy).

Added bin() builtin.  I'm going to check in the tests in a seperate checkin, because the builtin doesn't need to be ported to py3k, but the tests are missing in py3k and need to be merged there.

Try to make command line error messages from runpy easier to understand (and suppress traceback cruft from the implicitly invoked runpy machinery)

Move 2.5 news to Misc/HISTORY.

Replace 'raise Error, stuff' with 'raise Error(stuff)'.

top-level Python configure script.
configure, fficonfig.h.in: regenerated.

callable() from copy_reg.py, so the interpreter now starts up
without warnings when '-3' is given.  More work like this needs to
be done in the rest of the stdlib.

This change doesn't make any difference to CPython, but is a necessary fix for Jython.

Now that PyOS_ascii_formatd supports the 'n' format, simplify the float formatting code to just call it.

Trim leading zeros from a floating point exponent, per C99.  See issue 1600.  As far as I know, this only affects Windows.  Add float type 'n' to PyOS_ascii_formatd (see PEP 3101 for 'n' description).
