checkin, the Wise uninstaller *will* delete the Python DLL from the system
directory, but if and only if there wasn't a same-named Python DLL already
in the system directory at the time the installer ran.  That (no same-named
DLL) should be the typical case for most most people (I'm different because
I've run perhaps hundreds of 2.2 installs over the last several weeks).
IOW, the change was worth making.

They should.  Added a line that's supposed to fix that -- it doesn't
actually work on my box, but checking it in anyway.

(__hash__ etc.), in static and dynamic classes, overridden and
default.

  operators for which a default implementation exist now work, both in
  dynamic classes and in static classes, overridden or not.  This
  affects __repr__, __str__, __hash__, __contains__, __nonzero__,
  __cmp__, and the rich comparisons (__lt__ etc.).  For dynamic
  classes, this meant copying a lot of code from classobject!  (XXX
  There are still some holes, because the comparison code in object.c
  uses PyInstance_Check(), meaning new-style classes don't get the
  same dispensation.  This needs more thinking.)

- Add object.__hash__, object.__repr__, object.__str__.  The __str__
  dispatcher now calls the __repr__ dispatcher, as it should.

- For static classes, the tp_compare, tp_richcompare and tp_hash slots
  are now inherited together, or not at all.  (XXX I fear there are
  still some situations where you can inherit __hash__ when you
  shouldn't, but mostly it's OK now, and I think there's no way we can
  get that 100% right.)

that class should compare the id() of those instances.  Add a test
that verifies this.  This test currently fails; I believe this is
caused by object.c:2.132 (Patch #424475 by loewis).

in the type object is used for, for many of the more commonly used slots.
Thanks!

- Made framework builds work for MacOSX. The configure arg is now
  "--enable-framework".
- Added an install target frameworkinstall which installs the framework.
- Ripped out Next/OpenStep support, which was broken anyway.
- Made the MacOSX toolbox glue dependant on a --enable-toolbox-glue
  configure arg. This should make naked darwin build work again (untested).

A few targets have been added to Makefile.pre.in, and on inspection they
look harmless to non-MacOSX machines, but it is worth checking.
