  Newer autoconf versions (from 2.60) want a 'datarootdir' definition in
  (Make-)files that use mandir (and other data directory macros).

  This patch solves a warning during configure, specifically:

  ...
  config.status: creating Makefile.pre
  config.status: WARNING:  ../Makefile.pre.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting
  ...

  Change socket.error to inherit from IOError rather than being a stand
  alone class.  This addresses the primary concern in

   http://bugs.python.org/issue1706815

  python-dev discussion here:

   http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-July/073749.html

  I chose IOError rather than EnvironmentError as the base class since
  socket objects are often used as transparent duck typed file objects
  in code already prepared to deal with IOError exceptions.

  also a minor fix:

   urllib2 - fix a couple places where IOError was raised rather than URLError.
             for better or worse, URLError already inherits from IOError so
             this won't break any existing code.

   test_urllib2net - replace bad ftp urls.

Support bytes.split() and bytes.strip() -- these split/strip using ASCII

Also for rsplit(), lstrip() and rstrip().
And change all these functions to accept arbitrary buffer-API-supporting
arguments.
With unit tests.

Don't allow BerkeleyDB 4.6.x as the current 4.6.19 release is prone
to lockups.  We'll reenable it once a good 4.6.x release exists.

Update tutorial/classes.rst to remove references to the old two-argument form of the raise statement.

(Bah, the poplib test didn't catch this.)
