This now actually works. See doc string. It can run a module (i.e.
import or reload) or debug it (same with debugger control). Output
goes to a fresh output window, only created when needed.
Need extern decl. for fdatasync() in case it exists but isn't declared
anywhere (or, more likely, the declaration requires a magical
combination of _POSIX defines).

FieldStorage.__init__(): if there is no content-type header, use
text/plain for inner parts, but application/x-www-form-urlencoded
for outer parts. Honor any existing content-type header.
Lower down, if the content-type header is something we don't
understand (say because it there was a typo in the header coming from
the client), default to text/plain for inner parts, but
application/x-www-form-urlencoded for outer parts.
Hack for Windows so that if (1) the exit status is nonzero and (2) we
think we have our own DOS box (i.e. we're not started from a command
line shell), we print a message and wait for the user to hit a key
before the DOS box is closed.
The hacky heuristic for determining whether we have our *own* DOS box
(due to Mark Hammond) is to test whether we're on line zero...

The following patches (relative to 1.5.2b1) enable Python dynamic
loading to work on NetBSD platforms that use ELF (presnetly mips and
alpha systems). They automaticly determine wether the system is ELF or
a.out rather than using astatic list of platforms so that when other
NetBSD platforms move to ELF, python will continue to work without
change.

convert(): Make sure no line has trailing whitespace. (docfixer.py
checks for \n\n as a paragraph separator, LaTeX allows white
space between the newlines.)
Fixed bug in the common-case code for HTTP URLs; it would lose the query,
fragment, and/or parameter information.
3 cases added to the test suite to check for this bug.

write_idxfile(): New function. Isolate format of the external index
data file used by buildindex.py.
next_argument_id(): Removed; no longer used.
next_argument(): Doesn't use next_argument_id(), just does the work.
gen_target(), gen_target_name(): Removed, no longer used. The only
place that used them now does the (trivial) work directly.
Lots of little changes so we never have to pass around $br_id values
all over the place. The only places they're used now new IDs are
generated as needed.
This hopefully fixes the problem of having to set PATH
in autoexec.bat in order to find the Tcl DLLs -- Tkinter calls FixTk
which will hunt around in a few common places and then set PATH
and try again, or else issue a big clarifying error message.

Here's a little cleanup of the BeOS/ directory for 1.5.2b2; it makes the
ar-fake, linkcc and linkmodule shell scripts a little smarter (and,
in the case of PowerPC systems, quieter :-).

Typo: "TWELV" --> "TWELVE"
Added note at top, since LaTeX style writers like to force name
changes when someone else makes a change to the style. I'm sending a
note to the author reporting the error and asking for an updated
version.
This cannot be distributed in this form. This will be resolved when I
get a response from Ulf Lindgren.
Get rid of the strptype() declaration -- on some BSD systems, it's a
conflict, and it should be declared in time.h anyway.
(Too bad if gcc -Wall won't be happy if it isn't declared...)
Add sys.hexversion, which is an integer encoding the version in hexadecimal.
In other words, hex(sys.hexversion) == 0x010502b2 for Python 1.5.2b2.
This is derived from the new variable PY_VERSION_HEX defined in patchlevel.h.
(Cute, eh?)
Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
see extend.txt. Some sample extensions have been provided, and
some existing code has been converted to extensions. Probably the
biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
