Now that we don't have AC_CHECK_LIB(m, pow), the HAVE_LIBM symbol
...
disappears. It wasn't used anywhere anyway...

Carefully check for overflow when allocating the memory for fromfile

-- someone tried to pass in sys.maxint and got bitten by the bogus
calculations.

Get rid of AC_CHECK_LIB(m, pow) since this is taken care of later with
...
LIBM (from --with-libm=...); this actually broke the customizability
offered by the latter option. Thanks go to Clay Spence for reporting
this.

1. Print the error message (carefully) when a dl.open() fails in verbose mode.
...
2. When no test case worked, raise ImportError instead of failing.

1. Clarify that immutability isn't entirely the same as unchangeable
...
value (because of immutable containers containing mutable objects).
2. Document that func_code, func_defaults and func_doc / __doc__ are
now writable.

Patch by Tim Peters to improve the range checks for range() and
...
xrange(), especially for platforms where int and long are different
sizes (so sys.maxint isn't actually the theoretical limit for the
length of a list, but the largest C int is -- sys.maxint is the
largest Python int, which is actually a C long).

1. Augment the DG/UX rule so it doesn't break the BeOS build.
...
2. Add $(EXE) to various occurrences of python so it will work on
Cygwin with egcs (after setting EXE=.exe). These patches by
Norman Vine.

Patch by Tadayoshi Funaba (with some changes) to be smarter about
...
guessing what happened when strftime() returns 0. Is it buffer
overflow or was the result simply 0 bytes long? (This happens for an
empty format string, or when the format string is a single %Z and the
timezone is unknown.) if the buffer is at least 256 times as long as
the format, assume the latter.

In atoi(), don't use isxdigit() to test whether the last character
...
converted was a "digit" -- use isalnum(). This test is there only to
guard against "+" or "-" being interpreted as a valid int literal.
