Fix a number of markup consistency buglets.

Add random.sample()

Use universal newline support when opening a file for freezing.

Closes SF bug #635595.

Pass co_freevars and co_cellvars to new.code().
Will backport.

When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
	newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value

This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.

contains options, drop them to get the major/minor content type.
Modified from the supplied patch to support more whitespace variation.
Closes SF patch #613605.

Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

Closes SF bug #635656.

Remove an XXX item: I'm not going to write a section on the email package
    at this point

Used for random sampling without replacement.

PyNumber_Int, because now PyNumber_Int might return a long,
and PyInt_AsLong can handle that, whereas PyInt_AS_LONG can't.

This closes SF bug #629989.

This changes sys.version under Microsoft builds to include the MS compiler
version number (_MSC_VER).  Since VC 6 and VC 7 are apparently
incompatible, and both can be installed on a single box, distutils needs
some way to figure out which version of MSVC a given Python was compiled
under.

As also suggested by MvL, got rid of #ifdef'ery for the defunct _M_ALPHA
target.

Bugfix candidate?  Hard to say.  As far as I'm concerned, VC 7 wasn't
a supported platform in the 2.2 line.  If somebody thinks it should be,
they can do the work.

Fixes #636431.
