This stopped working on Windows, due to a reference to the non-existent
_locale.getdefaultlocale. Guessing a leading underscore was intended,
but don't really understood this stuff (locale looks like Spanish for
the opposite of global to me <wink>).
[Patch #588809] LDFLAGS support for build_ext.py, from Robert Weber
customize_compiler() now looks at various environment variables and uses
their values to override the configured C compiler/preprocessor/linker
binary and flags.

Related to SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2G.
Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB.
4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though.
Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes. It
didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create*
a > 2GB test file! This wasn't Python's doing. I don't know of a
reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not
checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating
a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again,
and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required,
and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once).
[Bug #620630] Flush stdout after logging every message. Without it,
when output is redirected to a file, compiler error messages show
up before Distutils prints the command being invoked.
Add get_distutil_options(); future setup.py files can use this to check
whether the Distutils being used supports a particularly capability.
(This idea was originally suggested by Juergen Hermann as a method
on the Distribution class. I think it makes more sense as a
function in core.py, and that's what this patch implements.)
Add "select all" by clicking on (0,0) cell.
Redo setting the selection and setting the beacon to deal better
with rows or columns -- these are now expressed by range (1, sys.maxint).
Major breakthrough in selection -- drag-select multiple cells now
works. Also row and column selection works (sort of). The DEL
key deletes the selected rectangle. sys.argv[1] used by test_gui().

Update example for the type() function to use the currently accepted
preference of using "is" instead of "==" to compare types, use
built-in names where available, and point to the isinstance()
function.
Closes SF bug #632196.
Make the Distribution() constructor forgiving of unknown keyword
arguments, triggering a warning instead of raising an exception. (In
1.5.2/2.0, it will print to stderr.)
Bugfix candidate for all previous versions. This changes behaviour,
but the old behaviour wasn't very useful. If Distutils version X+1
adds a new keyword argument, using the new keyword means your setup.py
file won't work with Distutils version X any more.

Add notes to the asctime() and ctime() descriptions to make it

that implied it was, but this has confused users.

Forward port of 1.12.14.3 (which has an incorrect log message):
if SetDates() in touched() returns an error ignore it: the user may not have
permission to change the parent folder. This is a non-serious problem,
the only function of touched() is to speed up the finder seeing the
change.

Avoid calling __dict_replace() if we don't need to -- the call is much
more expensive than just doing to work needed, and these things seem
to always turn into a bottleneck eventually.

Change PyOS_Readline declaration to match the recent change to myreadline.c

be the correct course. I don't know the code involved well enough to judge.

According to the docs, __name__ is not exposed via the API except
indirectly via %(__name__)s. Not sure why, but maintain the
documented behavior for the new items() method.
Be a little more efficient about how we compute the list of options in
the ConfigParser.items() method.

Under Jaguar it seems that 'errn' return value keyword parameters don't
(or don't always?) show up with missed(). I think this is a bug in
Jaguar, but as it is a potential dangerous problem (the OSA event has
failed, but the Python code isn't told about this and happily continues)
this is a quick workaround.
Bugfix candidate, I'll add it to 2.2.2 as a last second fix.
