Fix for issue #2573: Can't change the framework name on OS X builds
This introduces a new configure option: --with-framework-name=NAME
(defaulting to 'Python'). This allows you to install several copies
of the Python framework with different names (such as a normal build
and a debug build).
This should fix issue2632. A long description of the two competing
problems is in the bug report (one old, one recently introduced trying
to fix the old one). In short:
buffer data during socket._fileobject.read() and readlines() within a
cStringIO object instead of a [] of str()s returned from the recv()
call.
This prevents excessive memory use due to the size parameter being
passed to recv() being grossly larger than the actual size of the data
returned *and* prevents excessive cpu usage due to looping in python
calling recv() with a very tiny size value if min() is used as the
previous memory-use bug "fix" did.
It also documents what the socket._fileobject._rbufsize member is
actually used for.

Fix a backwards-compatibility mistake where a new optional argument for
warnings.showwarning() was being used. This broke pre-existing replacements for
the function since they didn't support the extra argument.
Get rid of _test(), _main(), _debug() and _check(). Tests are no longer
needed (better set available in Lib/test/test_robotparser.py). Clean up a
few PEP 8 nits (compound statements on a single line, whitespace around
operators).
Correct documentation to match implementation: "Class" instead of
"class_descriptor", "Function" instead of "function_descriptor". Note
default path value for readmodule*. Wrap some long paragraphs. Don't
mention 'inpackage' which isn't part of the public API.
Minor cleanups:
* Avoid creating unused local variables where we can. Where we can't prefix
the unused variables with '_'.
* Avoid shadowing builtins where it won't change the external interface of a
function.
* Use None as default path arg to readmodule and readmodule_ex.
A few small changes:
* The only exception we should catch when trying to import cStringIO is an
ImportError.
* Delete the function signatures embedded in the mk*temp docstrings.
* The tempdir global variable was initialized twice.

Issue #1496032. Add -mieee to BASECFLAGS on alpha, when gcc is
the compiler. This should(?) help to fix failures in test_math
and test_cmath on Linux/alpha.
Also add configure message reporting the result of uname -m, as
a debugging aid.
Disable gc when running test_trace, or we may record the __del__ of collected objects.
See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2008-April/068633.html
the extra events perfectly match several calls to socket._fileobject.__del__()
Issue2681: the literal 0o8 was wrongly accepted, and evaluated as float(0.0).
This happened only when 8 is the first digit.
Credits go to Lukas Meuser.

Major improvements:
* Default to using /dev/tty for the password prompt and input before
falling back to sys.stdin and sys.stderr.
* Use sys.stderr instead of sys.stdout.
* print the 'password may be echoed' warning to stream used to display
the prompt rather than always sys.stderr.
* warn() with GetPassWarning when input may be echoed.

test_math and test_cmath are failing on the FreeBSD 6.2 trunk buildbot,
apparently because tanh(-0.) loses the sign of zero on that platform.
If true, this is a bug in FreeBSD.
Added a configure test to verify this. I still need to figure out
how best to deal with this failure.
Correct an apparent refleak in test_pkgutil: zipimport._zip_directory_cache contains
info for all processed zip files, even when they are no longer used.

Issue 2662: Initialize special value tables dynamically (i.e. when
cmath module is loaded) instead of statically. This fixes compile-time
problems on platforms where HUGE_VAL is an extern variable rather than
a constant.

Yet more explicit special case handling to make
math.pow behave on alpha Tru64. All IEEE 754
special values are now handled directly; only
the finite**finite case is handled by libm.
