Removed libffi.pc.in because it is not needed for ctypes.

Issue 2550: extend test_socket.py to test SO_REUSEADDR semantics when bind() is called on identical (host, port) combinations in two separate sockets.  This should raise an EADDRINUSE socket.error in all cases, irrespective of whether or not SO_REUSEADDR is set on the sockets.  However, with Windows, when SO_REUSEADDR is set on the sockets, no error is thrown (an error is thrown when the option isn't set), which results in an extremely wedged python process whenever accept() is called on either of the bound sockets.  I'm committing this test now to observe if it's only Windows that has this behaviour (via the buildbots).  Note: this WILL break all Windows buildbots for now; once I've observed the results on other platforms, I'll revert, then start looking into a patch.

directory to the directory in which the setup.py script lived (which made
__file__ wrong)

fixed, with test that the script is run in the current directory of the caller

is used as compiler.

  controlled environment will more closely mirror the typical script
  environment.  This supports setup.py scripts that refer to data files.

And fix some flakiness in test_itimer_prof, which could detect that the timer
had reached 0 before the signal arrived announcing that fact.

calls threading.currentThread.

The correction somewhat improves the code, but it was close.
Many thanks to the "with" construct, which turns python code into C calls.

I wonder if it is not better to sys.settrace(None) just after
running the __main__ module and before finalization.

Make kill_python a little more forgiving if it can't obtain a snapshot of module information for a given python[_d].exe process.  Failing here was too pessimistic; the python[_d].exe process may be owned by another user, which is the case in some buildbot environments.

Reimplement kill_python.  The existing version had a number of flaws, namely, it didn't work for x64 and it wasn't precise about which python_d.exe it was killing -- it just killed the first one it came across that happened to have 'pcbuild\python_d.exe' or 'build\python_d.exe' in it's path.  The new version has been rewritten from the ground up and now lives in PCbuild, instead of Tools\buildbot, and it has also been incorporated into the Visual Studio solution (pcbuild.sln) as 'kill_python'.  The solution has also been altered such that kill_python is called where necessary in the build process in order to prevent any linking errors due to open file locks.  In lieu of this, all of the existing bits and pieces in Tools\buildbot that called out to kill_python at various points have also been removed as they are now obsolete.  Tested on both Win32 and x64.

Fix: #2315, #2316, #2317: TimedRotatingFileHandler - changed logic to better handle daylight savings time, deletion of old log files, and fixed a bug in calculating rollover when no logging occurs for a longer interval than the rollover period.

Update information pertaining to building external components, as well as notes on x64 builds.  This file now accurately describes the build process as is; however, there's still a lot of room for improvement, especially with regards to how we build Tcl/Tk, Tix, and OpenSSL.  Watch this space for further improvements.

on various platforms, most recently the Alpha Tru64.

test_itimer_prof.

Rebuild the DocTestSuite on each iteration.

When cls is an ABCMeta, every call to isinstance(x, cls)
records type(x) in the cls._abc_cache of cls_abc_negative_cache.
So we clear these caches at the end of the test.

inspect.isabstract() is not the correct test for all ABCs, because there is no @abstractmethod in io.py (why?)
isinstance(cls, ABCMeta) would be more exact, but it fails with an infinite recursion.
So I used a hack to determine whether a class is an ABCMeta.

The true correction would be to turn cls._abc_cache &co into a WeakSet, as py3k does.
But classic classes are not weak referenceable...

Of course, this change should not be merged into the py3k branch.

I have the email trail to prove that George Neville-Neil approved this.

it registers the same codec on each iteration.
Do it only once at load time.

with python 2.6, enumerating bytes yields 1-char strings, not numbers.

Don't merge this into the py3k branch.

of effort to do so.

it is easy to capture stderr if desired.

fine, but the last change may be required for the test to pass on Windows.
Should we always close the mmap too?
