- based on pip and other PyPA tools
- includes references to the new Python Packaging User Guide
where appropriate (and the relevant section is at least
partially filled in)
- started new FAQ sections
- both guides aim to introduce users to basic open source
concepts if they aren't aware of them
- existing guides have been relocated (now linked from the
distutils docs) rather then removed, since there is
some needed material that has yet to be relocated to the
distutils docs as a reference for the legacy formats
Includes:
-mention cx_Freeze instead of py2exe (at least until py2exe supports Python 3)
-update ActivePython link
-Remove mention of platforms that were never supported by Python 3 (Win9x, DOS)

exceptions in the signal handler to propagate up to the

* Removed a #define from pyconfig.h. The macro was already defined a few lines higher.
* Fixed path to tix in the build_tkinter.py script
* Changed make_buildinfo.c to use versions of unlink and strcat which are considered safe by Windows (as suggested by MvL).
* Removed two defines from pyproject.vsprops that are no longer required. Both are defined in pyconfig.h and make_buildinfo.c doesn't use the unsafe versions any more (as suggested by MvL).
* Added some more information about PGO and the property files to PCbuild9/readme.txt.
