Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux
...
where their capabilities intersect. Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

Add new constants usable with os.popen() on Windows.
...
NOTE: this seems a mess wrt which symbols are available on which
platforms. I can't fix it, but I didn't add to it <wink>, and
included an XXX comment about names claimed to be available on
Windows that aren't. If anyone can figure out the whole ugly truth,
I'm sure a better organization will suggest itself.

There's no need for typechecks on the second and third argument of
...
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.
This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes
This is a 2.2.1 candidate.

SF patch #497420 (Eduardo Pérez): ftplib: ftp anonymous password
...
Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no
host name at all!) as the default anonymous FTP password. This avoids
privacy violations.

Fix wrongly-named formal parameters in three places: begin_y was used twice

instead of begin_y and begin_x for derwin(), subpad(), and subwin().
Reported for derwin() by Eric Huss.
Added class annotations for the window methods so they would be properly
described in the index.

Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390 : Modifying
...
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
