Added support for user settable default encodings. The
current implementation uses a per-process global which
defines the value of the encoding parameter in case it
is set to NULL (meaning: use the default encoding).

The core dump was due to a C decrement operation
in a macro invocation in load_pop. (BAD)
I fixed this by moving the decrement outside
the macro call.
I added a comment to load_pop and load_mark
to document the fact that cPickle separates the
unpickling stack into two separate stacks, one for
objects and one for marks.
I also moved some increments out of some macro
calls (PyTuple_SET_ITEM and PyList_SET_ITEM).
This wasn't necessary, but made me feel better. :)
I tested these changes in *my* cPickle, which
doesn't have the new Unicode stuff.
The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and
an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading.
Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:
Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.
Fix the string methods that implement slice-like semantics with
optional args (count, find, endswith, etc.) to properly handle
indeces outside [INT_MIN, INT_MAX]. Previously the "i" formatter
for PyArg_ParseTuple was used to get the indices. These could overflow.
This patch changes the string methods to use the "O&" formatter with
the slice_index() function from ceval.c which is used to do the same
job for Python code slices (e.g. 'abcabcabc'[0:1000000000L]).
Fix overflow bug in ldexp(x, exp). The 'exp' argument maps to a C int for the
math library call [double ldexp(double, int)], however the 'd'
PyArg_ParseTuple formatter was used to yield a double, which was subsequently
cast to an int. This could overflow.
[GvR: mysteriously, on Solaris 2.7, ldexp(1, 2147483647) returns Inf
while ldexp(1, 2147483646) raises OverflowError; this seems a bug in
the math library (it also takes a real long time to compute the
Inf outcome). Does this point to a bug in the CHECK() macro? It
should have discovered that the result was outside the HUGE_VAL range.]
The following modules are specifically excluded in the Win64 build:
audioop, binascii, imageop, rgbimg. They are advertised as heavily 32-bit
dependent. [They should probably be fixed! --GvR]
Changes to PC\config.[hc] for Win64. MSVC defines _WINxx to differentiate the
various windows platforms. Python's MS_WINxx are keyed off of these. Note
that _WIN32 (and hence MS_WIN32 in Python) are defined on Win32 *and* on
Win64. This is for compatibility reasons. The idea is that the common case is
that code specific to Win32 will also work on Win64 rather than being
specific to Win32 (i.e. there is more the same than different in WIn32 and
Win64).

The patch to config.h looks big but it really is not. These are the effective
changes:
- MS_WINxx are keyed off _WINxx
- SIZEOF_VOID_P is set to 8 for Win64
- COMPILER string is changed appropriately for Win64

is renamed _PyEval_SliceIndex() and is now exported. As well, the return
values for success/fail were changed to make slice_index directly
usable as required by the "O&" formatter.
[GvR: shouldn't a similar patch be applied to unicodeobject.c?]
Changes the 'b', 'h', and 'i' formatters in PyArg_ParseTuple to raise an
Overflow exception if they overflow (previously they just silently
overflowed).
Changes by Guido: always accept values [0..255] (in addition to
[CHAR_MIN..CHAR_MAX]) for 'b' format; changed some spaces into tabs in
other code.
