- Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions
...
and left shifts. (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
'L'. The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

Improve the implementation of itertools.tee().
...
Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists. The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.
The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.
The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.

Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames

is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames. In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used. In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Fix the most recent change to the invocation of the mkhowto script so
...
that it works for all targets.
The issue here is that there are two different levels in the directory
tree at which we execute mkhowto, so we can't define it just once
using a relative path (at least not with the current implementation
and Makefile structure). We use the GNUish $(shell) function here to
work around that restriction by identifying mkhowto using an absolute
path.
