This file's previous log message is bogus. The real change is that
when it gets the path from the registry, it no longer appends the
default path to the end (which would mostly be a duplication).
Different version games:
- MS_DLL_ID is now set to "1.5" instead of "1.5.x" so Mark Hammond's
extensions won't have to be changed.
- FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION are set to 1,5,2,1.
(The last number could be the build# or the alpha release# or so.)

(py-execute-region): When temp-names are broken (Emacs 19.34), a
serial number isn't enough to uniquify the temp file name -- what if
two users are on the same machine? Add in the (emacs-pid) to help
further. Should never be tickled on Emacs 20, XEmacs 20, 21.
Clarify that the Python interpreter lock need *not* be held by
PyInterpreterState_New() and PyThreadState_New() -- but that you may
use it to serialize calls to them.
Add built-in string variables 'quit' and 'exit' that display a hint on
how to exit (in a platform dependent way!). We use os.sep to
determine which platform we're on, since I expect that this will work
better for minority platforms.
Add warning that mutable argument defaults are evaluated only once;
with examples and workaround. This keeps coming up, and I believe
that this section in the tutorial may have been (in part) the source
of the confusion. While it didn't show examples with [] for a default,
it also didn't emphasize enough why that would be a bad idea, and
while it did say that defaults are evaluated at the point of function
definition, the example was not relevant for this issue.
Added note() message to Page class -- this was used but didn't exist.
(The alternative would be to call self.checker.note() but since
self.checker might be None that's not quite right.

Variant of AMK's patch to produce text versions of HOWTO documents.
This ensures that the text version uses latex2html's -split 1 option, without
affecting HTML produced in the same run, and also minimizes the number of
l2h runs needed if --split 1 was used for an HTML run.

Time machine experiment. Use '__name__' as the special key (always
present) that refers to the section name. Also added a (slightly)
better InterpolationError error message, which includes the raw
string.
Undo a silly effect of a global substitution: the macintosh panic()
function had a reference to vPySys_WriteStderr(...) -- turn it back
into fprintf(stder, ...).

build_html(): Simplify, so there's only one version of the latex2html
command line.
l2hoption(): Convenience function, to write out an option to the aux. init.
file only if set.
Added --iconserver option to set the $ICONSERVER variable in latex2html; this
requires the use of an auxillary init. file since this can't be initialized
using a standard latex2html command-line option. So the aux. init. file is
used for just about all the special options since it has to be written anyway
when $ICONSERVER needs to be set.
Added gethostbyname_ex(), which returns the same kind of data as
gethostbyaddr(). (Plain gethostbyname() returns only the IP address.)
This moves the code shared by gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname_ex()
to a subroutine.
Original patch by Dan Stromberg; some tweaks by GvR.
Support case insensitive treatment of os.environ keys on Windows and
DOS (as well as OS/2). I presume that making a call to putenv() with
a lowercase key will actually do the right thing. I know this is so
on Windows/DOS, and I expect it is so OS/2 -- but the old OS/2 code
didn't assume this. (I don't know if the person who provided the OS/2
patch was clueless or just didn't care about DOS and Windows.)
Also ripped out the support for pickling -- as of 1.5, this is no
longer needed to make pickling work.
I did some bugfixes, and fixed a major problem with the esmtp suport (I
think the person who did that part misunderstood RFC1869) Some of the
interface fer esmtp-related things has changed as a result.
I also added some documentation to the SMTP class' docstring.
Patch by Jody Winston (with my changes) to add some of the "wait
status inspection" macros as functions: WEXITSTATUS(), WIFEXITED(),
WIFSIGNALED(), WIFSTOPPED(), WSTOPSIG(), WTERMSIG().
Better error messages when raising ValueError for int literals. (The
previous version of this code would not show the offending input, even
though there was code that attempted this.)

Introducing randrange([start,] stop [,step]) -- same as
choice(range(start, stop, step)) but faster. This addresses the
problem that randint() was accidentally defined as taking an inclusive
range (how unpythonic).
The code is longish because Tim Peters insisted that it reject
non-integral arguments while I insisted that it be not much slower
than randint(); the compromise satisfies both but is somewhat
convoluted.
Also changed randint() to be implemented through randrange(). This is
a semantic change because old randint() didn't test its arguments for
validity. (It also makes randrange() win any contest with randint()
:-)
