where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

Fixes SF bug #509288, probably a candidate for 2.2.1

   contain the type of the file (regular file, socket, link, &c.).
   This means that install_scripts will now print
   "changing mode of <file> to 775" instead of "... to 100775".

2.2 bugfix candidate, I suppose, though this isn't actually fixing a bug.

Closes patch #435381.

This closes SF bug #505997.

[ #510644 ] test_curses segfaults

If we use the *object* *allocator*, we should use the *object* *deallocator*,
not the *raw memory* deallocator (confused yet?).

I think this was what caused segfaults when pymalloc was enabled.

Even if it wasn't the cause, it's still wrong.

2.2.1 candidate.

uses _DummyMutex on platforms without threads.

TemproraryFileWrapper wrapper anymore, and should be immune from the
problem that a temp file inherited by a spawned process caused an
attempt to close the temp file in the spawning process to blow
up (the unlink in TemporaryFileWrapper.close() blew up with a
"Permission denied" error because, despite that the temp file got
closed in the spawning process, the spawned process still had it open
by virtue of C-level file descriptor inheritance).  In context,
that bug took days to figure out <wink/sigh>.

NOTE:  this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms.  I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't.  If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

completely determined by the example; dict insertion order and the string
hash algorithm no longer affect the output.
This fixes SF bug #509281.

This is an ancient race when multiple threads call gettempdir() (or
anything relying on it) for the first time.

Fixed x-platform via the Big Hammer of rearranging the code to serialize
the first calls.  Subsequent calls are as fast as before.

Note that the Python test suite can't provoke this bug:  it requires
setting up multiple threads making the very first calls into tempfile,
but the test suite uses tempfile several times before getting to
test_threadedtempfile.

Bugfix candidate.

Otherwise, a multipart/* with only one subpart will not have the
