Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope

SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)
I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an

does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write
...
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.
This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.
I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.

Changes from Moshe:
...
- distutils: Windows installers are already working
- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
be docommented
- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp
- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.

The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention

(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources. Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional

leaders.
