--verbose/-v flag added

pot_header added to make msgmerge and Emacs po-mode work better

normalize(), escape(), safe_eval(): Improved normalization of strings
for more .po file compatibility (e.g. C style).  Handles emmbedded
newlines better.

Also added an identity function called _() and use it in the file
where messages are printed.  This allows us to selftest pygettext.py
with itself as input.

separately but now is included in the standard Python distribution.

I regularly find that pdb sets the breakpoint on the wrong line when I
try to set a breakpoint on a function.  This fixes the problem
somewhat.
The real problem is that pdb tries to parse the Python source code to
find the first executable line.  A better way might be to inspect the
code object, or even have a variable in the code object
co_firstexecutablelineno, but that's too much work.

The patch fixes the problem when the first code line after the def
statement contains the start *and* end of a triple-quoted string.  The
code assumed that the end of a triple-quoted string is not on the same
line as the start, and so it would skip to the end of the *next*
triple-quoted string.

Also added a comment that the 'p' variants (spawnvp() etc.) are *not*
supported on Windows.  (They could be by adding them to posixmodule.c)

Sometimes there's no parent, so don't try to get its __name__.

Added some declarations to shut up compiler.

have fork and execv (and friends) but not spawnv.  They operate
exactly like the spawn functions on Windows.  A limited set of needed
constants is also defined (P_WAIT, P_NOWAIT etc.).

Also add getenv() as a familiar alias for environ.get().

- Minor tab behavior tweak

String values will now always be shown with quotes, so one can see the difference between the value 2 and the value '2'. -- jvr

not as descriptive as what Barry suggests, but this also catches the
(in my opinion important) case where some other C code besides apply()
constructs a kwdict that doesn't have the right format.  All the other
possibilities of getting it wrong (non-dict, wrong keywords etc) are
already caught so this makes sense to check here.

Now supports the full range of intended formats (tar, ztar, gztar, zip).
"-f" no longer a short option for "--formats" -- conflicts with new

information accessible to Python.

When run as a script, just dumps the information back out in the data
format, with functions in sorted order and a blank line between
different functions.

Still need to apply the information somehow.

Fixed up a few of his ??? comments.
