Fixes (accepts patch) issue1339 - http://bugs.python.org/issue1339
- Factor out the duplication of EHLO/HELO in login() and sendmail() to
a new function, ehlo_or_helo_if_needed().
- Use ehlo_or_helo_if_needed() in starttls()
- Check for the starttls exception in starttls() in the same way as
login() checks for the auth extension.

The duplication is intentional -- this paragraph is in a section
describing additions to the sys module, and there's a later section
that mentions the switch. I think most people scan the what's-new and
don't read it in detail, so a bit of duplication is OK.

Add rational.Rational as an implementation of numbers.Rational with infinite
precision. This has been discussed at http://bugs.python.org/issue1682. It's
useful primarily for teaching, but it also demonstrates how to implement a
member of the numeric tower, including fallbacks for mixed-mode arithmetic.
I expect to write a couple more patches in this area:
* Rational.from_decimal()
* Rational.trim/approximate() (maybe with different names)
* Maybe remove the parentheses from Rational.__str__()
* Maybe rename one of the Rational classes
* Maybe make Rational('3/2') work.

Now that I've learnt about structseq objects I felt like converting sys.float_info to a structseq. It's
readonly and help(sys.float_info) explains the attributes nicely.

Added new an better structseq representation. E.g. repr(time.gmtime(0)) now returns 'time.struct_time(tm_year=1970, tm_mon=1, tm_mday=1, tm_hour=0, tm_min=0, tm_sec=0, tm_wday=3, tm_yday=1, tm_isdst=0)' instead of '(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 1, 0)'. The feature is part of #1816: sys.flags
?Why did my tests not notice this before?
Slots inheritance is very different from OO inheritance.
This code lead to infinite recursion on classes derived from StructType.
As discussed in issue 1700288:
ctypes takes some liberties when creating python types: it modifies the types'
__dict__ directly, bypassing all the machinery of type objects which deal with
special methods. And this broke recent optimisations of method lookup.
Now we try to modify the type with more "official" functions.

Check in the patch proposed by Ben Hayden (benjhayden) for issue
#1550: help('modules') broken by several 3rd party libraries.
Tested with Python build: trunk:54235:59936M -- the reported error
occurs with Django installed (or with any __init__.py present on
the path that raises an exception), and such errors indeed go away
when this change is applied.

Change amd64 buildbot scripts to use Visual Studio 2008, and
to use the required versions of external sources.
External sources are not yet built, so the build-step fails to
built some targets.

Issue 846388. Adds a call to PyErr_CheckSignals to
SRE_MATCH so that signal handlers can be invoked during
long regular expression matches. It also adds a new
error return value indicating that an exception
occurred in a signal handler during the match, allowing
exceptions in the signal handler to propagate up to the
main loop. Thanks Josh Hoyt and Ralf Schmitt.
