This follows the previous patch that changed idlelib file names.
Class names that matched old module names are not changed.
Change idlelib imports in turtledemo.__main__.
Exception: config-extensions.def. Previously, extension section
names, file names, and class names had to match. Changing section
names would create cross-version conflicts in config-extensions.cfg
(user customizations). Instead map old names to new file names
at point of import in editor.EditorWindow.load_extension.
Patch extensively tested with test_idle, idle_test.htest.py, a custom
import-all test, running IDLE in a console to catch messages,
and testing each menu item. Based on a patch by Al Sweigart.
SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up"
Allows IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory.
I took the liberty of moving it to the startup scripts since once IDLEfork
is again a part of Python it will be superfluous and I don't want it to
be forgotten. But it is very useful for those using IDLEfork standalone!

Switch back to installing IDLE as a package. The IDLE GUI and the
subprocess will both attempt to start up via the package mechanism, but if
IDLE is not yet installed it is possible to run by calling python idle.py
in the IDLE source directory, or to add the source directory to sys.path.
One advantage of doing it this way is IDLE stays off sys.path.
