far I have no way in hand to consistently deliver a defined incorrect
result either).

Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
...
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

Patch #651621 , approved by MvL.

This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:
z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()
I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.
If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

Fix reference to the Fetchmail FAQ:
...
- URL was missing an "m"
- markup for tilde was wrong
- URL was marked as the title
- actual title was omitted
"make webcheck" didn't catch this; not sure why.
Removed some spurious end-of-line whitespace.
