the --with-suffix=.exe, but it seems that that is also true for cygwin
(or not? should I automatically set it?)
- Got --with-next-framework to build on OSX. This is only the build bit,
the install still has to be done manually. Moreover, the Python build order
isn't really suited to frameworks (where you want to do 'build lib',
'install lib and framework', 'link executable against installed framework'
in that order).
Also note that it isn't just Linux nice() that is broken: at least FreeBSD
and BSDI also have this problem. os.nice() should probably just be emulated
using getpriority()/setpriority(), if they are available, but I'll get to
that later.
This patch allows the readline module to build cleanly with GNU
readline 4.2 without breaking the build for earlier GNU readline
versions. The configure script checks for the presence of
rl_completion_matches in libreadline.
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
Mac/macglue.c into the core interpreter. This file contains the glue code that
allows extension modules for Mac toolboxes to live in different shared libraries
but still communicate with each other. The glue code is controlled by the
USE_MAC_TOOLBOX_GLUE define. [checked in for Jack]
into Makefile.pre.in; the configure script will only determine the basename
of the file.
This fixes installation of a Python built using C++, reported by Greg
Wilson.
builds during which he forgot to uncomment crucial library lines in
Setup, walks into Guido's East End nightclub with a tactical nuclear
weapon on his shoulder. Said nuclear weapon is promptly deployed
exactly where it will do the most good, right in the middle of
configure.in.
With this patch, the set of libraries autoconfigured in is extended to
include ndbm, gdbm, and crypt. This essentially eliminates any need to
tweak Setup for a normal Linux build.

of dbmmodule dynamically by default (otherwise it can pull in
dependencies with libdb that croak pybsddb3). This change moves the
Setup line for dbmmodule to Setup.config.in.
