Re-enable (and correct) a test for the BOM at the beginning of a code unit.
And properly "unget" characters when the BOM is incomplete.

The intermediate PG instrument build now lands in Platform-pgi and the final optimized build in Platform-pgo.

Removed blocks from several functions in unicodeobject and stringobject where a PyString function was still checking for PyUnicode or the other way around.
PyUnicode and PyString shouldn't magically convert the other type.

Replace it with PyUnicode_AsString when the argument is known to be a str.

  doctest assumed that a package's __loader__.get_data() method used universal
  newlines; it doesn't.  To rectify this the string returned replaces all
  instances of os.linesep with '\n' to fake universal newline support.

  Final fix for #1403
  The Windows installer and some Linux distros are using compileall to compile all py files in the Lib/ directory. However no test exists to check if all py files can be compiled. I figured out that make testall is the easiest way to test compileall.
........

There's no ABC for "PEP 3118 style buffer API objects" because there's no
way to recognize these in Python (apart from trying to use memoryview()
on them).
Note that array.array really should be registered as a MutableSequence
but that would require importing it whenever collections is imported.

For example, MessageBox takes char* parameters.
If you want to pass unicode strings, use MessageBoxW explicitely.

(not bytearray) on output.  Discovered a bunch of places that were still
depending on it accepting text strings.

Clean up trailing whitespace.

a dict argument now.

For py3k unit tests do some extra checks with -bb.

Removed more project configs in order to use the defaults defined in the property files. The 'sed' tool was more than helpful for the job.

The sentinel in the methods struct was missing

pythoncore.vcproj fails to generate buildinfo (when spaces in path)

  The incremental decoder for utf-7 must preserve its state between calls.
  Solves issue1460.

  Might not be a backport candidate: a new API function was added,
  and some code may rely on details in utf-7.py.

Added debug builds to make_versioninfo
Removed some more defines

HTML output. I've now fixed this as best I can (but could do with
improvement).

Note that there are two terms used, "Other_ID_Start" and
"Other_ID_Continue" that are not explained; I've added an extra see
reference to PEP 3131 though.

I've removed a bunch of obsolete defines. I've also taken the opportunity to fix the pre-link event of sqlite3 and some optimization flags.

py3k unit tests are removing %TEMP% dir on Windows
os.removedirs removes all parent directories until it hits a non empty directory. In my case my %TEMP% directory was clean and empty.

in issue1395. All other places in this file already use newline=''...

Also check that csv.reader is given an iterable returning strings.

Some incremental decoders return multiple characters, even when fed with
only one more byte. In this case the tell() state must subtract the
number of extra characters.
