Tim Peters f58a7aafea Implemented new os.startfile function, unique to Windows, exposing a
subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality.  Guido wants this because
IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a
conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's
_popen.  Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the
docstring -- it tells the whole story).
Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows.
Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs
(hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let
IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other
uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I
understand it).
Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now!  That's where
ShellExecute lives.

Tim Peters 50699215f8 test_mmap wrote null bytes into its expected-output file; this caused me to
waste an hour tracking down an illusion; repaired it; writing/reading non-
printable characters (except \t\r\n) into/outof text-mode files ain't
defined x-platform, and at least some Windows text editors do surprising
things in their presence.
Also added a by-hand "build humber" to the Windows build, in an approximation
of Python's inexplicable BUILD-number Unix scheme.  I'll try to remember to
increment it each time I make a Windows installer available.  It's starting
at 2, cuz I've put 2 installers out so far (both with BUILD #0).

Trent Mick 557d35ebf2 These files all used to be tagged as binary in CVS. I recently changed this so
that these files are treated as normal text files (which they are). However,
the files also had to be changed to be stored in CVS internally with UNIX line
terminators (they had DOS line terminators internally before this commit).

Guido van Rossum 880066a9cb A bunch of project files were checked in as text files.
They should all be binary (cvs admin -kv has now been applied).

Mark Hammond 9802255444 Update all projects so Debug builds use "/Zi" instead of "/ZI", which means everything should still build under MSVC5
NOTE:  All these projects had messed-up line endings (but MSVC didnt mind).  Executing a diff with "--ignore-all-space" will show the specific changes, but I made a complete checkin with correct line endiings as it is the correct thing to do!
