FRED, please check my monkey-see-monkey-do Tex fiddling!

with the recent change in 'get_platform()', we now have directory names
like "build/lib-1.5-linux-i586".  Idea and original patch by
Rene Liebscher.

This will eventually evolve into a package that creates CodeWarrior projects from templates (for distutils, and possibly the standard extensions too). For now it generates a correct xml file based on sources/output/expfile, but that is about all.

Added get() and setdefault() methods to the dbm object.

Added docstrings, convert all methods to PyArg_ParseTuple() so that

    Strings are unpickled by calling eval on the string's repr. This
