Fix two typos in the text about compile(), and add two caveats from 

recent user feedback: you must end the input with \n and you must use
\n, not \r\n to represent line endings.

The optional arguments \var{flags} and \optional{dont_inherit}
When compiling multi-line statements, two caveats apply: line
endings must be represented by a single newline character
(\code{'\e n'}), and the input must be terminated by at least one
newline character. If line endings are represented by
\code{'\e r\e n'}, use the string \method{replace()} method to
change them into \code{'\e n'}.
The optional arguments \var{flags} and \var{dont_inherit}
(which are new in Python 2.2) control which future statements (see
\pep{236}) affect the compilation of \var{string}. If neither is
present (or both are zero) the code is compiled with those future
