of the init_socket() function.  This module is now *always* _socket.

socket.py is used for all platforms, and it defines the additional
classes and alternate socket() function for Windows and BeOS systems.

The plat-*/socket.py files are no longer needed, since there is a
shared socket.py.

make_fqdn() is provided, but I decided to call it getfqdn() to be
consistent with the other names in the socket module.  Since it is
really a "get" operation and does not create a new name, this is
the right name to give it.

Move the docstring here from the _socket module.

This patch makes it possible to use gnu-win32 and lcc-win32
(http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/) compilers to build
extension modules. It adds compiler specific sections to
PC/config.h .
It also extends the Borland compiler section. This has then two parts,
one for Win32 and the other one for the rest. The Win32 part
should be almost complete.

*** This patch is not intended to make it possible to compile
     Python with these compilers, it is intended to be able to
     use these compilers to build extension modules. ****

'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.

Minor updates for BeOS R5.

Use of OSError in test.test_fork1 changed to TestSkipped, with corresponding
change in BeOS/README (by Fred).

This closes SourceForge patch #100978.

Update the grammar to reflect the most recent changes to list
comprehensions.

Adjusted some markup for consistency with the rest of the documentation
and creation of the proper index entries.

signed chars).

unhexlify() respectively).

commonly used functions to convert an arbitrary binary string into
a hexadecimal digit representation and back again.  These are often
(and often differently) implemented in Python.  Best to have one
common fast implementation.  Specifically,

binascii_hexlify(): a.k.a. b2a_hex() to return the hex representation
of binary data.

binascii_unhexlify(): a.k.a. a2b_hex() to do the inverse conversion
(hex digits to binary data).  The argument must have an even length,
and must contain only hex digits, otherwise a TypeError is raised.

after a brief conversation with TP.  First, the return values of the
PyString_* function calls should be checked for errors.  Second,
bit-manipulations should be used instead of division for spliting the
byte up into its 4 bit digits.

PyErr_Restore().

This was a misleading bug -- the true "bug" was that hash(x) gave an error
return when x is an infinity.  Fixed that.  Added new Py_IS_INFINITY macro to
pyport.h.  Rearranged code to reduce growing duplication in hashing of float and
complex numbers, pushing Trent's earlier stab at that to a logical conclusion.
Fixed exceedingly rare bug where hashing of floats could return -1 even if there
wasn't an error (didn't waste time trying to construct a test case, it was simply
obvious from the code that it *could* happen).  Improved complex hash so that
hash(complex(x, y)) doesn't systematically equal hash(complex(y, x)) anymore.

The existing win32_error() function now returns the new(ish) WindowsError, ensuring we get correct error messages.

Fix the parent of WindowsError - both the comments in this source file, and the previous exceptions.py have WindowsError as a sub-class of OSError.
