Neil Schemenauer b2c2c9e977 - update Neil's email address 2000-10-04 16:34:09 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer 544de1effb - 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.

Fred Drake e544191397 Add \modulesynopsis for inclusion in the list of modules at the beginning
