it if it is supported.

- Bug #1578513: Cross compilation was broken by a change to configure.
Repair so that it's back to how it was in 2.4.3.

stdint.h. Will backport.

Will backport.

In addition to testing positive numbers, verify negative numbers work in configure.
In order to avoid compiler warnings on OS X 10.4, also change the order of the check
for the format character to use (PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T) in the sprintf format
for Py_ssize_t.  This patch changes PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T from "" to "l" if it wasn't
defined at configure time.  Need to verify the buildbot results.

Backport candidate (if everyone thinks this patch can't be improved).

Fixes #1439538
Will backport to 2.4
Also regenerate pyconfig.h.in.

configure uses similar compiler flags as setup.py when doing the zlib test.

Without this patch configure would use the first shared library on the linker
path, with this patch it uses the first shared or static library on that path
just like setup.py.

is_term_resized, resize_term and resizeterm. This uses three
separate configure checks (one for each function).

copy is only in newer versions of zlib.  This should allow zlibmodule
to work with older versions like the Tru64 buildbot.

- update header checks, using autoconf
- provide dummies for getenv, environ, and GetVersion
- adjust MSC_VER check in socketmodule.c

  with --enable-framework
* Also for --enable-framework: allow users to use --prefix to specify
  the location of the compatibility symlinks (such as /usr/local/bin/python)

target. Until now users had to use 'make frameworkinstall'
to install python when it is configured with '--enable-framework'.
This tends to confuse users that don't hunt for readme files
hidden in platform specific directories :-)

I suppose this could be backported if anyone cares.

  on some OSX installation, but its header file is not.
Will backport to 2.4

* Don't use xcodebuild for building PythonLauncher, but use a normal unix
  makefile. This makes it a lot easier to use the same build flags as for the
  rest of python (e.g. make a universal version of python launcher)
* Convert the mac makefile-s to makefile.in-s and use configure to set makefile
  variables instead of forwarding them as command-line arguments
* Add a C version of pythonw, that we you can use '#!/usr/local/bin/pythonw'
* Build IDLE.app using bundlebuilder instead of BuildApplet, that will allow
  easier modification of the bundle contents later on.

PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T appropriately.  Removes warnings on
OS X under gcc 4.0.1 when PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T is set to "" instead of "z" as is
needed.
