Added new parser markers 'et' and 'et#' which do not recode string
...
objects but instead assume that they use the requested encoding.
This is needed on Windows to enable opening files by passing in
Unicode file names.

There was a real leak in the "export a C API" example; fix that one.

There is no longer a -X option to the interpreter, so remove the comments
...
on how PyErr_NewException() behaves in that case.
Clarify why an owned reference is kept in an extension module's
variable that refers to the result of PyErr_NewException(); one reader
thought that was a leak.
Clean up some tabs and simplify some markup.

Special case the "s#" PyArg_Parse() token for Unicode objects:

"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.
The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().

Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a
