$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON: Don't define here; simply defining it overrides a
...
definition provided by previously loaded configuration code, and
testing whether it's defined isn't needed since the default was
false anyway.
get_link_icon(): Add support for $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_HEIGHT and
$OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON_WIDTH, giving the dimensions of the icon
being used. This can make for faster page display. Both are
optional.
make_my_titlegraphic(): Fix insertion of the off-site icon link.
do_env_funcdesc(): Remove debugging print.
handle_rfclike_reference(): Remove trailing colon from first line; it
doesn't really make sense and looks bad if we add an icon to
mark off-site links.

section that such tuples cannot be used as keys.
Noted that .pyc and .pyo files can be run directly when provided as
the script parameter to the interpreter, and slightly clarified
comments about using modules with only the byte compiled code.

This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
...
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.
The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890 .
As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.
