More trivial comment -> docstring transformations by Ka-Ping Yee,
who writes:
Here is batch 2, as a big collection of CVS context diffs.
Along with moving comments into docstrings, i've added a
couple of missing docstrings and attempted to make sure more
module docstrings begin with a one-line summary.
I did not add docstrings to the methods in profile.py for
fear of upsetting any careful optimizations there, though
i did move class documentation into class docstrings.
The convention i'm using is to leave credits/version/copyright
type of stuff in # comments, and move the rest of the descriptive
stuff about module usage into module docstrings. Hope this is
okay.

Changed 'compile()' method to compile files one-at-a-time -- gives better
feedback and, theoretically, the opportunity to set compiler flags
on a per-file basis.
Mark Hammond renames the x86 projects back to what they were named
before the patch by Trent Mick. Since he now also works for
ActiveState, I suppose he overrides Trent. :-)
According to Harri Pasanen, the Solaris+gcc test for LINKFORSHARED
needed an adaptation for the latest gcc -- we need to grep stderr as
well as stdout for the magic string BFD. (Does anybody know what BFD
means?)

# module filecmp
# combo of old cmp, cmpcache and dircmp with redundancies removed
#
# bugs fixed:
# dircmp.dircmp was not ignoring IGNORES
# old stuff could falsely report files as "identical" when contents actually differed
#
# enhancements:
# dircmp has a more straightforward interface
#cmp enhanced by Moshe Zadca
#dircmp enhanced byGordon McMillan
Make read() and readlines() conform more to the file object interface:
the default arg for read() is -1, not None, and readlines() has an
optional argument (which for now is ignored).
Fixed a TypeError: not enough arguments; expected 4, got 3.
When authentication is needed, the default http_error_401 method calls
retry_http_basic_auth. The default version of that method expected a
data argument which wasn't provided, so now we provide the argument if
it was given and we also made the data argument optional.
Also changed other calls where data was optional to not pass data if
it was not passed to the calling method (in line with other similar
occurances).

Added 'description' class attribute to every command class (to help the
'--help-commands' option).
Shuffled imports around in a few command modules to avoid expensive
up-front import of sysconfig (and resulting delays in generating list
of all commands).

Improvements to the help system:
* "--help" can now come either before or after particular commands
to get help on and can give help on multiple commands, eg.
"--help install dist" gives help on those two commands
* added "--help-commands" option, implemented by the 'print_commands()'
and 'print_command_list()' methods

Big oops: macfs has always been using a private exception but calling it mac.error.
It now uses MacOS.Error (the OSErr valued error) and advertises that too. This
fix shouldn't break anything, I guess.

- support for FSSpecs passed-by-value and points-passed-by-reference added.
- strip single-line comments when parsing header files
- if a definition is blacklisted _do_ output it, but in comment

Fix a bug in exec_statement() noted incidentally by Tim Peters in
PR#175 -- when exec is passed a code object, it didn't sync the locals
from the dictionary back into their fast representation.
Also took the time to remove some repetitive code there and to do the
syncing even when an exception is raised (since a partial effect
should still be synced).

The functions asctime() and mktime() are documented to take a 9-tuple

arguments as well. This misfeature is now disabled (to end a
difference with JPython).

On Linux, one sometimes sees spurious errors after interrupting
previous output. Call clearerr() to prevent past errors affecting our
ferror() test later, in PyObject_Print(). Suggested by Marc Lemburg.

Abstracted '_fix_link_args()' out of 'link_shared_object()'.
Added 'link_static_lib()' method, and 'archiver' and 'archiver_options'
class attributes to support it.
Added 'link_executable()' method, and 'ld_exec' instance attribute
to support it.
'newer_group()' is now able to handle missing files, so we don't have
to kludge it by catching OSError when calling it.
'object_filenames()' and 'shared_object_filename()' now take 'keep_dir'
flag parameters.
'library_filename()' and 'shared_library_filename()' now respect
a directory component in the library name.
Various comment updates/deletions.

Contribution from Gerrit Holl:
This patch changes the string-based exceptions to class-based
exceptions, so that you can fetch the unknown option as an
attribute. As far as I know, it is backward compatible.
[The new exception class is called GetoptError; the name error is an
alias for compatibility.]
