The ob_sval member of a string object isn't necessarily aligned to better
than a native long, so the new "q" and "Q" struct codes can't get away w/
casting tricks on platforms where LONG_LONG requires stricter-than-long
alignment.  After I thought of a few elaborate workarounds, Guido bashed
me over the head with the obvious memcpy approach, herewith implemented.

closes bug #429136

sample startup script provided by Itamar Shtull-Trauring.

This closes SF patch #410890.

Add some logical markup where it was missing.

other documentation makefiles.  This is probably not sufficient to run
the conversion on Windows, but goes at least part way.

Minor local consistency adjustments.
A couple of small tweaks to the setdlopenflags() description.
For setprofile() and settrace(), convert some references to become
hyperlinks in the HTML version.

descriptions; added availability notes.

Add dlopenflags to PyInterpreterState, and use it in dlopen calls.

These work again.

some of the mostly-general files get changed.

all platforms that offer tempnam().

file management functions that have just been made available on more
platforms.

Used an adapted MethodGenerator to generate methods too for functions that have the object as the second arg after a first CFAllocatorRef arg (which we pass as NULL always anyway).

os.tmpnam().

os.tmpnam() functions to be made available.

This is part of SF patch #435492.

with a table clarifying which releases are GPL-compatible.

Also unified the headings for the various licenses.

tracing interface.  Incomplete, but better to check it in since I've
been including it in my updates.

no reason to pretend the syntax trees we're dealing with are abstract.

"A" out of the internal abbreviations.  For published functions with
"ast" in their names, make alternate offerings using just "st".

Add some casts to quiet warnings from an unspecified non-GCC compiler.

This closes SF patch #436258.

- Change header to 2.2a1.
- Add separator between 2.2 and 2.1 news.

Make the syntax of compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
These changes are an adaptation of SF patch #429611.

Use the new tools/rewrite.py instead of grep/date/sed to transform
html/index.html.in into html/index.html; this is required for portability.

This is really stupid because it cannot be suppressed or altered using
the warning framework; that's because the warning framework is built
on Python interpreter internals, and the parser generator doesn't have
access to any of those (you cannot use anything of type PyObject * in
the parser).

But it's better than nothing, and implementing a proper check for this
appears to require modifying compile.c in a dozen places, for which I
don't have the stamina today.  I promise we'll do better in 2.2a2.

At least it tells you the filename and line number (unlike the first
hack I considered :-).

This is probably not sufficient by itself for the info generation, and is
being done mostly to keep the style consistent with additional patches
that will be applied to Doc/Makefile.

replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).

This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.

This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611, but does
not use the suggested patch.
