  Refine the Visual Studio 2008 build solution in order to improve how we deal with external components, as well as fixing outstanding issues with Windows x64 build support.  Introduce two new .vcproj files, _bsddb44.vcproj and sqlite3.vcproj, which replace the previous pre-link event scripts for _bsddb and _sqlite3 respectively.  The new project files inherit from our property files as if they were any other Python module.  This has numerous benefits.  First, the components get built with exactly the same compiler flags and settings as the rest of Python.  Second, it makes it much easier to debug problems in the external components when they're part of the build system.  Third, they'll benefit from profile guided optimisation in the release builds, just like the rest of Python core.

  I've also introduced a slightly new pattern for managing externals in subversion.  New components get checked in as <name>-<version>.x, where <version> matches the exact vendor version string.  After the initial import of the external component, the .x is tagged as .0 (i.e. tcl-8.4.18.x -> tcl-8.4.18.0).  Some components may not need any tweaking, whereas there are others that might (tcl/tk fall into this bucket).  In that case, the relevant modifications are made to the .x branch, which will be subsequently tagged as .1 (and then n+1 going forward) when they build successfully and all tests pass.  Buildbots will be converted to rely on these explicit tags only, which makes it easy for us to switch them over to a new version as and when required.  (Simple change to external(-amd64).bat: if we've bumped tcl to 8.4.18.1, change the .bat to rmdir 8.4.18.0 if it exists and check out a new .1 copy.)

  Permission for pyc and pyo files are inherited from the py file.
........

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch.  The most obvious changes:

  - str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
  - bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
  - PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.

I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.

The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like.  Some changes are still on the to-do list.

  Update the encoding package's search function to use absolute imports when
  calling __import__.  This helps make the expected search locations for encoding
  modules be more explicit.

  One could use an explicit value for __path__ when making the call to __import__
  to force the exact location searched for encodings.  This would give the most
  strict search path possible if one is worried about malicious code being
  imported.  The unfortunate side-effect of that is that if __path__ was modified
  on 'encodings' on purpose in a safe way it would not be picked up in future
  __import__ calls.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

posixmodule.c 2.335.  Really should be considered part of patch #1103951.

"from test import test_support" in a few spots.

getlogin() can fail for too many reasons, so remove the test

Don't bother testing os.getlogin() if we aren't running from a tty (terminal)
It fails when run without a tty (e.g., when run from cron).

import from test.test_support instead of directly from test_support.

use METH_NOARGS instead
