Add a variable %_TCL_% that makes it easier to switch to a different version.

Don't distribute zlib.dll.  Tweak some comments.

unsupported format string.  (I guess this is because the logic for
deciding whether to reallocate the buffer or not has been improved.)
This caused the test code to crash on result[0].  Fix this by assuming
an empty result also means the format is not supported.

than was worth it: when deleting a canvas item, it would try to
automatically delete the bindings for that item.  Since there's
nothing that says you can't reuse the tag and still have the bindings,
this is not correct.  Also, it broke at least one demo
(Demo/tkinter/matt/rubber-band-box-demo-1.py).

Without this, if inflate() returned Z_BUF_ERROR asking for more output
space, we would report the error; now, we increase the buffer size and
try again, just as for Z_OK.

Python is invoked from a daemon.

I don't know what its origins are but I think I've seen it
once in a NeXT dictionary application -- not sure whether
anyone owns copyright but I don't see why we should risk it.

Per writes:

"""
The application where Signum Support uses smtplib needs to be able to
report good error messages to the user when sending email fails.  To
help in diagnosing problems it is useful to be able to report the
entire message sent by the server, not only the SMTP error code of the
offending command.

A lot of the functions in sendmail.py unfortunately discards the
message, leaving only the code.  The enclosed patch fixes that
problem.

The enclosed patch also introduces a base class for exceptions that
include an SMTP error code and error message, and make the code and
message available on separate attributes, so that surrounding code can
deal with them in whatever way it sees fit.  I've also added some
documentation to the exception classes.

The constructor will now raise an exception if it cannot connect to
the SMTP server.

The data() method will raise an SMTPDataError if it doesn't receive
the expected 354 code in the middle of the exchange.

According to section 5.2.10 of RFC 1123 a smtp client must accept "any
text, including no text at all" after the error code.  If the response
of a HELO command contains no text self.helo_resp will be set to the
empty string ("").  The patch fixes the test in the sendmail() method
so that helo_resp is tested against None; if it has the empty string
as value the sendmail() method would invoke the helo() method again.

The code no longer accepts a -1 reply from the ehlo() method in
sendmail().

and also:

"""
smtplib.py appends an extra blank line to the outgoing mail if the
`msg' argument to the sendmail method already contains a trailing
newline.  This patch should fix the problem.

The Dragon writes:

"""
	Mostly I just re-added the SMTPRecipientsRefused exception
(the exeption object now has the appropriate info in it ) [Per had
removed this in his patch --GvR] and tweaked the behavior of the
sendmail method whence it throws the newly added SMTPHeloException (it
was closing the connection, which it shouldn't.  whatever catches the
exception should do that. )

	I pondered the change of the return values to tuples all around,
and after some thinking I decided that regularizing the return values was
too much of the Right Thing (tm) to not do.

	My one concern is that code expecting an integer & getting a tuple
may fail silently.

(i.e. if it's doing :

      x.somemethod() >= 400:
expecting an integer, the expression will always be true if it gets a
tuple instead. )

	However, most smtplib code I've seen only really uses the
sendmail() method, so this wouldn't bother it.  Usually code I've seen
that calls the other methods usually only calls helo() and ehlo() for
doing ESMTP, a feature which was not in the smtplib included with 1.5.1,
and thus I would think not much code uses it yet.

(Some tests converted to splitunc() tests.)

splitunc() parses UNC paths.  The contributor of the UNC parsing in
splitdrive() doesn't like it, but I haven't heard a good reason to
keep it, and it causes some problems.  (I think there's a
philosophical problem -- to me, the split*() functions are purely
syntactical, and the fact that \\foo is not a valid path doesn't mean
that it shouldn't be considered an absolute path.)

Also (quite separately, but strangely related to the philosophical
issue above) fix abspath() so that if win32api exists, it doesn't fail
when the path doesn't actually exist -- if GetFullPathName() fails,
fall back on the old strategy (join with getcwd() if neccessary, and
then use normpath()).
