Added new optional credentials argument to SMTPHandler.__init__, and smtp.login() is now called in SMTPHandler.emit() if credentials are specified.

instance does not point to a valid wchar_t zero-terminated string,
raise a ValueError.  c_char_p does this already.

The ValueError message now contains the correct pointer address.

Will backport to release25-maint.

PyMem_Malloc() could potentially fail.

Will backport to the release25-maint branch.

Complete revamp of PCBuild8 directory.  Use subdirectories for each project under the main pcbuild solution.  Now make extensive use of property sheets to simplify project configuration. x64 build fully supported, and the process for building PGO version (Profiler Guided Optimization) simplified. All projects are now present, except _ssl, which needs to be reimplemented.  Also, some of the projects that require external libraries need extra work to fully compile on x64.

but the test passed on Linux and Solaris, hopefully other platforms too.

The locale "En" appears not to be valid on windows underi VisualStudio.2005.  Added "English" to the test_locale.py to make the testsuite pass for that build

Export function sanitize_the_mode from fileobject.c as _PyFile_SanitizeMode().  Use this function in posixmodule.c when implementing fdopen().  This fixes test_subprocess.py for a VisualStudio 2005 compile.

Remove functionality from test_datetime.test_main() that does reference count checking; 'regrtest.py -R' is the way to do this kind of testing.

Standardize on test.test_support.run_unittest() (as opposed to a mix of run_unittest() and run_suite()). Also, add functionality to run_unittest() that admits usage of unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule().

You might want to review this change as it's my first time.  Be gentle. :-)

Remove obsolete comment. Importing of .dll files has been discontinued, only .pyd files supported on windows now.

Make pythoncore compile cleanly with VisualStudio 2005.  Used an explicit typecast to get a 64 bit integer, and undefined the Yield macro that conflicts with winbase.h

Merge change 54909 from release25-maint:  Fix several minor issues discovered using code analysis in VisualStudio 2005 Team Edition
