we also flush stderr and stdout.  (XXX this may override errors if there's a problem
flushing.)

I replaced sys.maxint with sys.maxsize in Lib/*.py. Does anybody see a problem with the change on Win 64bit platforms? Win 64's long is just 32bit but the sys.maxsize is now 2**63-1 on every 64bit platform.
Also added docs for sys.maxsize.

I've modified the semantic of PyTraceBack_Print and sys.tracebacklimit slightly. Overfloats or values <= 0 are replaced with a default value to avoid infinite recursion and other issues.

  Applied my patch #1455 with some extra fixes for VS 2005
  The new msvc9compiler module supports VS 2005 and VS 2008. I've also fixed build_ext to support PCbuild8 and PCbuild9 and backported my fix for xxmodule.c from py3k. The old code msvccompiler is still in place in case somebody likes to build an extension with VS 2003 or earlier.
  I've also updated the cygwin compiler module for VS 2005 and VS 2008. It works with VS 2005 but I'm unable to test it with VS 2008. We have to wait for a new version of cygwin.

Change GeneratorExit's base class from Exception to BaseException

from the time where there was neither input() nor raw_input().

There was one occurence of PyInt_FromLong left in Parser/asdl_c.py. The files creates some C code.

I've moved the remains of PyInt_ to the longobject.h header file and removed the inclusing of intobject.h from Python.h. Now the intobject.h exists only to provide some aliases for porters from Python 2.x.

The bz2 codec isn't supported any more. I've also commented out several codecs which were removed in the past.
