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.
