Started to rename projects to the de-facto standard .mcp extension.

the bug report (for details, look at it), but agree there's no need for Python
to declare atof itself:  we #include stdlib.h, and ANSI C sez atof is declared
there already.

documented, and as is reasonable (since it is optional, but there's
another argument following it that may require you to specify a
value).  This solves SF bug 121887.

hack for TELL64()...  Sounds like there's something else going on
really.  Does anybody have a clue I can buy?

still in use, for Apple Mac OSX.

use it to generate a dialog for users to specify the command-line (because
providing a command-line with MacPython is so awkward).

unfortunate consequence of somebody switching from PyArg_Parse to
PyArg_ParseTuple but without changing the argument from a NULL to a tuple.

Added three attributes to the xrange object: start, stop, and step.  These
are the same as for the slice objects.

  - when compiling with GCC on Solaris, use "$(CC) -shared" instead
    of "$(CC) -G" to generate .so files
  - when compiling with GCC on any platform, add "-fPIC" to OPT

file uploads.

In response to SF bugs 110674 and 119806, and discussions on
python-dev, we are removing the self.lines attribute from the
FieldStorage class.  Specifically touched where methods __init__(),
read_lines_to_eof(), and skip_lines().

No one can remember why self.lines was added.  Technically, it's part
of the public interface for the class, but it was never documented.
It's possible clever or nosy code will break because of this, but it
was decided to remove it and see who complains.

This resolution also closes the second half of the cgi.py entry in PEP
42.  The first half of that PEP concerns specifically binary file
uploads, where there may be no end-of-line marker for a very long
time.  This patch does not address that issue.

further optimization of com_node makes the most difference.
