PyString_FromString().  This is arguably more correct, even if it

This fix doesn't fix the IDLE problems, but at least makes them more
debuggable by getting rid of the segfault.

Will backport.

Fortunately it's rarely called; only the gdb 'pyo' command seems affected.

  Tests for dict comprehensions I forgot to 'svn add' when committing the
  actual feature.

  I was _sure_ I had checked in these new tests already, but I guess the
  checkin failed and I didn't notice.

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

I had to fix a few tests and modules beyond what Christian did, and

an explicit encoding is given.  Also mimetools was made to always
assume binary files.
