for Python 2.4 caused a segfault when post_install_script was used.

The reason was that the file handle passed to PyRun_SimpleFile() was
created with MSVCRT.DLL, but Python 2.4 uses MSVCR71.DLL.

So, I replaced PyRun_SimpleFile() with PyRun_SimpleString().  The
segfault is gone, but the output of the postinstall script doesn't
show up, because still freopen() from MSVCRT is used.

(I would be very gratefull if someone proofreads the patch, at least).

rather than only looking at the type - this was broken in 2.3.

Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set"
button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in
config-keys.cfg).  Also true for Theme/highlights.  Python Bug 1064535.

rpc.py:SocketIO - Large modules were generating large pickles when downloaded
to the execution server.  The return of the OK response from the subprocess
initialization was interfering and causing the sending socket to be not
ready.  Add an IO ready test to fix this.  Moved the polling IO ready test
into pollpacket().

Fix typo in rpc.py, s/b "pickle.PicklingError" not "pickle.UnpicklingError".

idlever.py should be 1.0.4 to align with NEWS.txt.  There was no IDLE release
at 2.3.1 which accounts for the unsync.

backport of configHandler.py, Revision 1.36,  11Jan05.

If $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set, and >= 10.3, during configure we
setup extensions to link with dynamic lookup. We also record the
value in the Makefile, and distutils uses the same value to build extension
modules. If MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not set it defaults to the
current OSX version.

If we cannot use -undefined dynamic_lookup (such as on 10.2 or earlier)
we link extensions directly against the dynamic library in the framework in
stead of against the framework. This will fix building extensions for 2.3
after 2.4 has been installed too.

Allow relative URLs for included databases and packages.

Workaround for the fact that urllib2 doesn't default to "file:" urls.

- Added quotes around the destroot arguments, so empty destroot works.
- Run fixapplepython23 script to check whether Apple's Python 2.3 needs
  to be patched.
