Let the default encodings search function lookup aliases before trying the codec import. This allows applications to install codecs which override (non-special-cased) builtin codecs.

Several style fixes are suggested by Martin v. Loewis and

Remove BAD_EXEC_PROTOYPE (leftover from IRIX 4 demolition).

Remove unused and unnecessary checks for sizeof(char).

Since this only changes the error message, I doubt that it should be
backported.

the header file seems to be hand-written and missing the "const" keywords
for input parameters passed by reference.

as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module."  This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats.  However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints.  This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.

This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not
set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible)
that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order
as the SGI.  Using this flag it is then possible to prepare
SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system.

This patch is the result of a (small) discussion on python-dev and was
submitted to SourceForge as patch #874358.
