* Much expanded test suite:

  All protocols tested against all other protocols.
  All protocols tested with all certificate options.
  Tests for bad key and bad cert.
  Test of STARTTLS functionality.
  Test of RAND_* functions.

* Fixes for threading/malloc bug.

* Issue 1065 fixed:

  sslsocket class renamed to SSLSocket.
  sslerror class renamed to SSLError.
  Function "wrap_socket" now used to wrap an existing socket.

* Issue 1583946 finally fixed:

  Support for subjectAltName added.
  Subject name now returned as proper DN list of RDNs.

* SSLError exported from socket as "sslerror".

* RAND_* functions properly exported from ssl.py.

* Documentation improved:

  Example of how to create a self-signed certificate.
  Better indexing.

Closes issue #1096.

I chose IOError rather than EnvironmentError as the base class since
socket objects are often used as transparent duck typed file objects
in code already prepared to deal with IOError exceptions.

also a minor fix:

 urllib2 - fix a couple places where IOError was raised rather than URLError.
           for better or worse, URLError already inherits from IOError so
           this won't break any existing code.

 test_urllib2net - replace bad ftp urls.

(Make-)files that use mandir (and other data directory macros).

This patch solves a warning during configure, specifically:

...
config.status: creating Makefile.pre
config.status: WARNING:  ../Makefile.pre.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting

Add a workaround for a strange bug on win64, when _ctypes is compiled

static RuntimeError instance so that normalizing an exception there is no
reliance on a recursive call that would put the exception system over the

This attack is against ceval.c:IMPORT_NAME, which calls an
object (__builtin__.__import__) without holding a reference to it.

ptrace_enter_call() assumes no exception is currently set.
This assumption is broken when throwing into a generator.
