Fix closes Issue11439 Remove the SVN keywords from the code as it is no longer applicable in hg. Patch Contributed by Neil Muller.

reverted distutils its 3.1 state. All new work is now happening in disutils2, and distutils is now feature-frozen.

I like this because it makes the code shorter! :-)

unicode, and a few other compensating changes, e.g. str <- unicode,
chr <- unichr, and repr() of a unicode string no longer starts
with 'u'.  Lots of unit tests are broken, but some basic things
work, in particular distutils works so the extensions can be built,
and test_builtin.py works.

 * all calls to functions in the string module (except maketrans)
 * everything from stropmodule except for maketrans() which is still used

There's one major and one minor category still unfixed:
doctests are the major category (and I hope to be able to augment the
refactoring tool to refactor bona fide doctests soon);
other code generating print statements in strings is the minor category.

(Oh, and I don't know if the compiler package works.)

    suggested by PEP 291.

[#413582] g++ must be called for c++ extensions

topdir = "Lib/distutils"

* bcppcompiler.py
  (BCPPCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
  and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
  (BCPPCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* msvccompiler.py
  (MSVCCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
  and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
  (MSVCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* ccompiler.py
  (CCompiler): New language_map and language_order attributes, used by
  CCompiler.detect_language().

  (CCompiler.detect_language): New method, will return the language of
  a given source, or list of sources. Individual source language is
  detected using the language_map dict. When mixed sources are used,
  language_order will stablish the language precedence.

  (CCompiler.create_static_lib, CCompiler.link, CCompiler.link_executable,
   CCompiler.link_shared_object, CCompiler.link_shared_lib):
  Inlcuded target_lang parameter.

* cygwinccompiler.py
  (CygwinCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* emxccompiler.py
  (EMXCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* mwerkscompiler.py
  (MWerksCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* extension.py
  (Extension.__init__): New 'language' parameter/attribute, initialized
  to None by default. If provided will overlap the automatic detection
  made by CCompiler.detect_language(), in build_ext command.

* sysconfig.py
  (customize_compiler): Check Makefile for CXX option, and also the
  environment variable CXX. Use the resulting value in the 'compiler_cxx'
  parameter of compiler.set_executables().

* unixccompiler.py
  (UnixCCompiler): Included 'compiler_cxx' in executables dict, defaulting
  to 'cc'.
  (UnixCCompiler.create_static_lib): Included target_lang parameter.
  (UnixCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter, and made
  linker command use compiler_cxx, if target_lang is 'c++'.

* command/build_ext.py
  (build_ext.build_extension): Pass new ext.language attribute
  to compiler.link_shared_object()'s target_lang parameter. If
  ext.language is not provided, detect language using
  compiler.detect_language(sources) instead.

* command/config.py
  (config._link): Pass already available lang parameter as target_lang
  parameter of compiler.link_executable().

(Bugfix candidate for 2.2, and likely 2.1 as well)

This is a conservative version of SF patch 504889.  It uses the log
module instead of calling print in various places, and it ignores the
verbose argument passed to many functions and set as an attribute on
some objects.  Instead, it uses the verbosity set on the logger via
the command line.

The log module is now preferred over announce() and warn() methods
that exist only for backwards compatibility.

XXX This checkin changes a lot of modules that have no test suite and
aren't exercised by the Python build process.  It will need
substantial testing.

    Add executable extension, needed to get the program name right on Win32

    Provide include_dirs argument to all calls to ._preprocess and ._compile
    Fix typo: pattern.search(pattern) should be pattern.search(line)

(This command seems to be essentially untested; should fix that...)

an 'other_libraries()' parameter.

Added 'check_lib()', which provides a subset of the functionality of
  'check_func()' with a simpler interface and implementation.

'try_cpp()', 'search_cpp()', and 'check_header()'.  This is enough that
the base config is actually useful for implementing a real config
command, specifically one for mxDateTime.

one doesn't *do* anything by default; it's just there as a conduit for data
(eg. include dirs, libraries) from the user to the "build" commands.
However, it provides a couple of Autoconf-ish methods ('try_compile()',
'try_link()', 'try_run()') that derived, per-distribution "config" commands
can use to poke around the target system and see what's available.

Initial experimenst with mxDateTime indicate that higher-level methods are
necessary: analogs of Autoconf's AC_CHECK_HEADER, AC_CHECK_LIB will be
needed too (and that's just to probe the C/C++ system: how to probe the
Python system is wide open, and someday we'll have to worry about probing a
Java system too).
