Andrew M. Kuchling fed4f1e9c5 Changes from Moshe:
- distutils: Windows installers are already working

- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
  be docommented

- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp

- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
  win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
  Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.
