  Fix nearly all compilation warnings under Apple gcc-4.0.  Tested with OPT="-g
  -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror" in both --with-pydebug mode and --without.
  There's still a batch of non-prototype warnings in Xlib.h that I don't know how
  to fix.

  Fix issue 5230 by having pydoc's safeimport check to see if the import
  error was thrown from itself in order to decide if the module can't be
  found.  Thanks to Lucas Prado Melo for collaborating on the fix and tests.

  #2016 Fix a crash in function call when the **kwargs dictionary is mutated
  during the function call setup.

  This even gives a slight speedup, probably because tuple allocation
  is faster than PyMem_NEW.

  Added unit test to verify that threading.local doesn't cause ref leaks. It seems that the thread local storage always keeps the storage of the last stopped thread alive. Can anybody comment on it, please?

Once Barry and the email-sig have a working new version
we'll add it back.
If it doesn't make the 3.0a deadline (release August 31), too bad.

Completely get rid of StringIO.py and cStringIO.c.

I had to fix a few tests and modules beyond what Christian did, and
invent a few conventions.  E.g. in elementtree, I chose to
write/return Unicode strings whe no encoding is given, but bytes when
an explicit encoding is given.  Also mimetools was made to always
assume binary files.

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.
