fix com_call_function to cope with trailing comma in "f(a, b,)"

python-dev discussion.

This should catch future version incompatibilities on Windows.  Alas,
this doesn't help for 1.5 vs. 1.6; but it will help for 1.6 vs. 2.0.

to signify a test that should be marked as 'skipped' rather than 'failed'.
Also 'document' it, in README.

Honesty's the best policy.

mark the test as 'skipped', rather than 'failed'.

at all (my computer doesn't have a Sound Blaster), this doesn't mean
there's a bug in linuxaudiodev. The only error the test suite skips
is currently ImportError -- so that's what we raise. If you see a problem
with this patch, say so and I'll retract. If you think raising an ImportError
sucks, you're right -- but I ain't gonna buy a SB and I sure ain't gonna
let the test-suite fail on my machine.

Ensure that # of args to sprintf always matches # of format specifiers.

snprintf() is available.

MSVCCompiler's version, to aid in factoring common code out of the two
classes when the time comes).

(still at the start of the manual), and "Python Language Services" (late
in the manual).  Moved "Restricted Execution" to just before "Python
Language Services."

Modify parse_qsl to interpret 'a=b=c' as key 'a' and value 'b=c'
(which matches Perl's CGI.pm)

the Python Unicode implementation.

The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).

Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.

(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
 of the CVS tree.)

Revise the tp_repr handler to produce a more "minimal" presentation.
Make the tolist() method use PyArg_ParseTuple() and provide a docstring.

zip() description:  Fix broken markup, three small markup consistency nits,
	and one really minor usage nit.  Introduce use of \moreargs instead
	of hardcoding "..." with \optional.

do_cmd_unspecified():  New functions to reflect previously unused markup.

do_cmd_file():  Simplified generated markup to only make use of the
	existing stylesheet.

do_cmd_makevar():  Make the markup more stylesheet-friendly.

This doesn't change the copyright status for these files -- just the
markings!  Doing it on the main branch for these three files for which
the HEAD revision was pushed back into 1.6.

-- factored out SRE_COUNT; the same code is used by
   SRE_OP_REPEAT_ONE_TEMPLATE
-- minor cleanups

This is a notice without a date, which apparently is not a claim to
