related to the BSD DB library.  Based on comments from Mark Summerfield
<summer@netcraft.com>.

    Strings are unpickled by calling eval on the string's repr. This
    change makes pickle work like cPickle; it checks if the pickled
    string is safe to eval and raises ValueError if it is not.

test suite modifications:
    Verify that pickle catches a variety of insecure string pickles
    Make test_pickle and test_cpickle use exactly the same test suite
    Add test for pickling recursive object

glob.glob("k:*py") (i.e., a raw drive letter + colon at the start) were
using the root of the drive rather than the expected Windows behavior
of using the drive's "current directory".

the sometimes inappropriate warning about where we're installing data files.

Added 'prefix' and 'exec_prefix' to the list of variables that can be
  expanded in installation directories (preserving the stupid old names
  of 'sys_prefix' and 'sys_exec_prefix, though).

POSIX platforms, ie. get a little more detail than 'sys.platform' gives.

all that work when someone asks for a "configuration variable" from the
Makefile.  Details:
  - added 'get_config_vars()': responsible for calling one of the
    '_init_*()' functions to figure things out for this platform,
    and to provide an interface to the resulting dictionary
  - added 'get_config_var()' as a simple interface to the dictionary
    loaded by 'get_config_vars()'
  - changed the '_init_*()' functions so they load the global dictionary
    '_config_vars', rather than spewing their findings all over
    the module namespace
  - don't delete the '_init_*()' functions when done importing
  - adjusted 'customize_compiler()' to the new regime

have a new name; this would have avoided a lot of the packaging problems
related to changing labels from the old distutils documentation.

Changed the stackless note.

Added a note about getting CarbonLib as a way to get a new Appearance/NavServices. Added Luc Lefebvre to the thanks-list.

Fixes that should make it possible to run Python on machines without NavServices installed. Also weak-linked OT libraries so Python can run with extensions disabled.

Minor fix in documentation of code module.

method.)

Fix the release number -- this is supposed to be the *Python* release,
not the documentation release!  The later is given by the combination of
the Python release number and the date.  Add a comment so I can keep it
straight.
