SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up"
Allows IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory.
I took the liberty of moving it to the startup scripts since once IDLEfork
is again a part of Python it will be superfluous and I don't want it to
be forgotten. But it is very useful for those using IDLEfork standalone!

Switch back to installing IDLE as a package. The IDLE GUI and the
subprocess will both attempt to start up via the package mechanism, but if
IDLE is not yet installed it is possible to run by calling python idle.py
in the IDLE source directory, or to add the source directory to sys.path.
One advantage of doing it this way is IDLE stays off sys.path.
Developed in collaboration with Tony Lownds.

To be able to run from the source directory or from an installed version
of IDLE, and also to allow the subprocess to find run(), Python needs to
have the idlelib package on its path.
1. Modify setup.py to supply a .pth file living at same level as idlelib
2. Move boolcheck to PyShell.py
3. Remove boolcheck and path setting code from the "idle" script
Another applet mechanism has been developed for Python on Mac OS X and
trying to use the -c "__import__('run').main()" trick is just not working.
macosx_main.py is a new file which should be used as the startup file for
Mac OS X applet bundles. This startup file understands a -p option, which
when seen will start run.main(). When running as an applet, this seems like
the best approach.
****************
PyShell: Added functionality:
usage: idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-i] [-r script] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ...
idle file(s) (without options) edit the file(s)
-c cmd run the command in a shell
-d enable the debugger
-i open an interactive shell
-i file(s) open a shell and also an editor window for each file
-r script run a file as a script in a shell
-s run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else
-t title set title of shell window
Remaining arguments are applied to the command (-c) or script (-r).
******************
idles: Removed the idles script, not needed
******************
idle: Removed the IdleConf references, not required anymore
