Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair
...
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

- Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the
...
collector will be saved in gc.garbage. This is useful for debugging a
program that creates reference cycles.
- Fix else statements in gcmodule.c to conform to Python coding standards.
