installed to build extensions. This patch makes distutils emit a warning when
the compiler should use an SDK but that SDK is not installed, hopefully reducing
some confusion.

universal build of python on OSX 10.3 to ensure that those flags can be used
to compile code (the universal build uses compiler flags that aren't supported
on 10.3). This patches gives the same treatment to CFLAGS, PY_CFLAGS and
BLDSHARED.

Fixes 1572471.  Make a similar change for the excel class and clean up
references to the Dialects and Formatting Parameters section in a few
places.

any hue value and do the modulo itself, except it doesn't quite do
it in all cases.  At least, the "cannot get here" comment was wrong.

Also remove warning about re-initialization as possibly raising an execption as
both call _PyImport_FindExtension() which pulls any module that was already
imported from the Python process' extension cache and just copies the __dict__
into the module stored in sys.modules.

add 'if (PyErr_Occurred())' checks to various places so that NULL is
returned properly.

2.4 backport candidate.

* unified the way intobject, longobject and mystrtoul handle
  values around -sys.maxint-1.

* in general, trying to entierely avoid overflows in any computation
  involving signed ints or longs is extremely involved.  Fixed a few
  simple cases where a compiler might be too clever (but that's all
  guesswork).

* more overflow checks against bad data in marshal.c.

* 2.5 specific: fixed a number of places that were still confusing int
  and Py_ssize_t.  Some of them could potentially have caused
  "real-world" breakage.

* list.pop(x): fixing overflow issues on x was messy.  I just reverted
  to PyArg_ParseTuple("n"), which does the right thing.  (An obscure
  test was trying to give a Decimal to list.pop()... doesn't make
  sense any more IMHO)

* trying to write a few tests...

Will backport to 2.5 and 2.4.

The compiler was checking that there was something on the fblock
stack, but not that there was a loop on the stack.  Fixed that and
added a test for the specific syntax error.

Bug fix candidate.

Documentation omitted the additional parameter to LogRecord.__init__ which was added in 2.5. (See SF #1569622).
