Invoke the standard error handlers for non-200 responses.
Always supply a "Connection: close" header to prevent the server from
leaving the connection open. Downstream users of the socket may
attempt recv()/read() with no arguments, which would block if the
connection were kept open.

Windows installers can be build on non-Windows systems as long as they
only include pure python module distributions.
by bdist_wininst *must* use the same runtime libary as the Python
version.
Actually this means the Python version where the installer is run, not
the one which is used to build it. Must think about that - for now I
assume MSVC6 is used up to Python 2.3, and MSVC7.1 is used starting at
Python 2.4.
So the filename for wininst.exe is now wininst-6.exe for the Release
version and wininst-6_d.exe for the Debug version, when built with
MSVC6.
Patch #892660 from Mark Hammond, for distutils bdist_wininst command.
install.c: support for a 'pre-install-script', run before anything has
been installed. Provides a 'message_box' module function for use by
either the pre-install or post-install scripts.
bdist_wininst.py: support for pre-install script. Typo (build->built),
fixes so that --target-version can still work, even when the
distribution has extension modules - in this case, we insist on
--skip-build, as we still can't actually build other versions.

Exception traceback text is now cached.
Closing a handler now removes it from the internal _handlers list.
Handlers now chain to Handler.close() from their close() methods.
Exception info can be passed as a tuple in exc_info.
shutdown() is registered to be called at application exit.
Corrections to comments.
Tracebacks can now be sent via SocketHandler.
SocketHandler now uses exponential backoff strategy.
Handlers now chain to Handler.close() from their close() methods.
- comment out documentation for a non-existant feature (--spec-file)
that the comments indicate isn't clearly needed
- lots of minor markup adjustments to get a more consistent

by implementing rich comparisons for floats.
Seems to make comparisons involving NaNs somewhat less surprising
when the underlying C compiler actually implements C99 semantics.
Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.
Includes documentation change and tests.
Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.
This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.
The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary. Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.
