Allow the profiler's calibration constant to be specified in the constructor
...
call, or via setting an instance or class vrbl.
Rewrote the calibration docs.
Modern boxes are so friggin' fast, and a profiler event does so much work
anyway, that the cost of looking up an instance vrbl (the bias constant)
per profile event just isn't a big deal.

Improve the documentation for the os.P_* constants used with the os.spawn*()

functions to include information about how they affect the operation of
those functions when used as the "mode" parameter.
This closes SF bug #468384 .
Added warnings to the os.tempnam() and os.tmpnam() functions regarding their
security problem. These warning mirror the warnings added to the runtime
by Skip Montanaro.

Fred, is this a right way to fix it? If not, the earlier place in the
same paragraph that does render as
foo$
is also wrong.

The description of dictionary comparison was out of date. Rather than

try to explain the complex general scheme we actually use now, I decided
to spell out only what equality means (which is easy to explain and

Change the section heading and intro sentence to be a little more general,

The execfile() docs imply it acts on locals same as exec. But in truth
...
it acts more like assigning to keys in locals(), i.e. modifications to
function locals aren't reflected in the locals when execfile() returns.

SF [ #466125 ] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.

Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too. The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too. That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.
