2.0b1 for Windows will not have bothered getting 1.6. Also changed
"Changed, New, Obsolete Tools" to say "None" since nobody had put an entry
there.

Fix PDF generation.
...
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file. This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.

Since it looks like the dual license clause may be neither necessary
...
nor sufficient to make Python 2.0 compatible with the GPL, we won't
bother with it now.
In other words, we're still where we were weeks ago -- CNRI believes
that its license is GPL-compatible, Stallman says it's not. I'm
trying to arrange a meeting between their lawyers so they can work it
out. Whether dual licensing is the solution is open at this point.
If it is the (only!) solution, we'll add that to the BeOpen license
for 2.0 final.

test_mmap wrote null bytes into its expected-output file; this caused me to
...
waste an hour tracking down an illusion; repaired it; writing/reading non-
printable characters (except \t\r\n) into/outof text-mode files ain't
defined x-platform, and at least some Windows text editors do surprising
things in their presence.
Also added a by-hand "build humber" to the Windows build, in an approximation
of Python's inexplicable BUILD-number Unix scheme. I'll try to remember to
increment it each time I make a Windows installer available. It's starting
at 2, cuz I've put 2 installers out so far (both with BUILD #0 ).

Fixes bug in --with-libdb. If --with-libdb was not specified (default is to
...
enable it), but db.h was not found, the WITH_LIBDB macros was still being
defined, resulting in compilation errors. Also added a short explain when
bsddb support wasn't enabled (because db.h wasn't found) when the user
explicitly used --with-libdb on the configure command line.

Move down the INT_MAX logic, because HAVE_LIMITS_H was always undefined
...
and this breaks the AIX build with an INT_MAX redefinition error.
"config.h" is included in pgenheaders.h, so moving this down fixes the
problem.

AGREEMENT VERSION 1.
trade name -> trade names.
Note: depending on community feedback, we may end up taking the dual
licensing clause out for 2.0b1, and put it back into 2.0final, if
there's no other solution for assuring GPL compatibility by then.
See my message to python-dev and license-py20.

Repair failing test_sre.py.
...
This was a funny one! The test very subtly relied on 1.5.2's
behavior of treating "\x%" as "\x%", i.e. ignoring that was an
\x escape that didn't make sense. But /F implemented PEP 223,
which causes 2.0 to raise an exception on the bad escape.
Fixed by merely making the 3 such strings of this kind into
raw strings.

BeOpen.com added to the front.
(Even if maybe we won't print this long banner at startup, the string
must still be defined for sys.copyright.)
