[Bug #1083110] calling .flush() on decompress objects causes a segfault due to an uninitialized pointer: fixes the problem and adds a test case

Will backport to 2.4 and 2.3.

to make using "-undefined dynamic_lookup" for linking extensions more
automatic on 10.3 and later. So if we're on that platform and
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not set we now set it to the current OSX
version during configure. Additionally, distutils will pick up the
configure-time value by default.

Will backport.

needs to run it in the Makefile).

After installing a newer framework Python the apple-installed Python can
no longer build extension modules, because they will inadvertantly be linked
against the newer framework. This script modifies lib/config/Makefile so
it will link extensions with "-undefined dynamic_lookup", which forestalls
this problem.

Will backport to 2.4 and 2.3.

this is useful for locating supporting data files, just as it is in Python
modules

trying to return a complete line even if a size parameter was given (see
http://www.python.org/sf/1076985). This leads to buffer overflows with long
source lines under Windows if e.g. cp1252 is used as the source encoding.
This patch reverts the behaviour of readline() to something that behaves more
like Python 2.3: If a size parameter is given, read() is called only once.

As a side effect of this, readline() now supports all types of linebreaks
supported by unicode.splitlines().

Note that the tokenizer is still broken and it's possible to provoke segfaults
(see http://www.python.org/sf/1089395).

Added a test for it, and also fixed the documentation.

This is to avoid a problem that inconsistently comes up where the environment
variable is unset while the Makefile clearly has the values set and are used
during ``make``.

Closes bug #1081045.
