These two fixes were approved by me.

Peter Kropf:
There's a problem with the xmllib module when used with JPython. Specifically,
the JPython re module has trouble with the () characters in strings passed into
re.compile.

Spiros Papadimitriou:
I just downloaded xmllib.py ver. 0.3 from python.org and there
seems to be a slight typo:  Line 654 ("tag = self.stack[-1][0]"
in parse_endtag),  is indented one level more than it should be.
I just thought I'd let you know...

major ports of GCC to Windows.  Contributed by Rene Liebscher, and quite
untested by me.  Apparently requires tweaking Python's installed config.h
and adding a libpython.a to build extensions.

manifest, regenerate the manifest.

(Bug spotted and originally fixed by Rene Liebscher; fix redone by me.)

'install_headers'.

'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.

it in UnixCCompiler.  Still needs to be implemented in MSVCCompiler (and
whatever other compiler classes are lurking out there, waiting to be
checked in).

the number of children of a node exceeds the max possible value for
the short that is used to count them.  The Python runtime converts
this parser error into the SyntaxError "expression too long."

raised, caught, and converted to a string.

Patch to add support for sip: (Session Initiation Protocol, RFC2543)
URLs.

Simplify find code; this is a performance improvement on at least some
platforms.

Added a new debug method sys.gettotalrefcount(), which returns the total number of references on all Python objects.  This is only enabled when Py_TRACE_REFS is defined (which includes default debug builds under Windows).

Also removed a redundant cast from sys.getrefcount(), as discussed on the patches list.

Fix memory leak in initializing __debug__.

commented by Fred Drake, to prevent usage of sufficiently broken GCC
versions.

[mwh21@atrus build]$ ./python
>>> import Tkinter
>>> l = []
>>> l.append(l)
>>> Tkinter._flatten(l)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Fixed a bug in PyUnicode_Count() which would have caused a
core dump in case of substring coercion failure.

Synchronized .count() with the string method of the same name
to return len(s)+1 for s.count('').

Added optimization proposed by Andrew Kuchling to the Unicode
matching macro.

I discovered the [MREMAP_MAYMOVE] symbol is only defined when _GNU_SOURCE is
defined; therefore, here is the change: if we are compiling for linux,
define _GNU_SOURCE before including mman.h, and all is done.

this patch adds a fast _flatten function to the _tkinter
module, and imports it from Tkinter.py (if available).

this speeds up canvas operations like create_line and
create_polygon.  for example, a create_line with 5000
vertices runs about 50 times faster with this patch in
place.

this patch introduces PySequence_Fast and PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM,
and modifies the list.extend method to accept any kind of sequence.

the mremap() change I made; did someone modify configure.in previously
without recreating these files?

Remove two unused variables
