The removal of strerror.c led to the function check being removed from
configure.in.

It would probably be better to have a configure test for that, but
this is outside of my configure expertise.

The behaviour of winsound.Beep() seems to differ between different versions of Windows when there's either:
    a) no sound card entirely
    b) legacy beep driver has been disabled
    c) the legacy beep driver has been uninstalled
Sometimes RuntimeErrors are raised, sometimes they're not.  If _have_soundcard() returns False, don't expect winsound.Beep() to raise a RuntimeError, as this clearly isn't the case, as demonstrated by the various Win32 XP buildbots.

Issue 2286: bump up the stack size of the 64-bit debug python_d.exe to 2100000.  The default value of 200000 causes a stack overflow at 1965 iterations of r_object() in marshal.c, 35 iterations before the 2000 limit enforced by MAX_MARSHAL_STACK_DEPTH.

instead of every integer from 0 to 400. Exhaustive testing wastes time without
providing enough more assurance that the code is correct.

still sleep at all to make it likely that all threads are active at the same
time.

Finish backporting new buffer API to Python 2.6.  Left to do: memoryview object and structmodule.  But, these need to be finished in Python 3.0 first.  No objects support the new buffer API in Python 2.6 as of yet, and except for the memoryview object, I don't think they will.

regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.

This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for
compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.

Fixes Issue1202 for Python 2.6

Added 0b and 0o literals to tokenizer.
Modified PyOS_strtoul to support 0b and 0o inputs.
Modified PyLong_FromString to support guessing 0b and 0o inputs.
Renamed test_hexoct.py to test_int_literal.py and added binary tests.
Added upper and lower case 0b, 0O, and 0X tests to test_int_literal.py
