sgmllib does not recognize HTML attributes containing the semicolon
';' character. This may be in accordance with the HTML spec, but there
are sites that use it (excite.com) and the browsers I regularly use
(IE5, Netscape, Opera) all handle it. Doug Fort Downright Software LLC
-shared does the following things:
- invoke the linker with -G -dy -z text (the latter only if
-mimpure-text was not given)
- drop crt1.o from the list of objects being linked
- drop -lc from the list of libraries being linked
OTOH, -G is just passed through to the linker.
The things that -shared does are necessary: crt1.o defines _start, and
requires main, so it should not be present in a shared library.
Likewise, -z text should be used to detect position-dependent code at
compile time.

Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.
Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.
Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?
the symbol table pass. These blocks were already ignored by the code
gen pass. Both passes must visit the same set of blocks in the same
order.

New method; this is the "alternate" access to the exception code.
(Useful for Python DOM implementations that support the accessor
method approach to retrieving attribute values.)
--bitmap command line option allows to use a different bitmap file instead
of the build-in python powered logo.
--title lets you specify the text to display on the background.
The editbox in the first screen now longer is
selected (highlighted), it had the WS_TABSTOP flag.
This is the patch
http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103687&group_id=5470
with two changes:
1. No messagebox displayed when the compilation to .pyc or .pyo files
failes, this will only confuse the user (and it will fail under certain
cases, where sys.path contains garbage).
2. A debugging print statement was removed from bdist_wininst.py.
and also takes the sys.platform name into account. This helps on
platforms where there are multiple possible compiler backends (the
one with which Python itself was compiled is preferred over others
in this case).
The patch uses this new technique to enable using cygwin compiler
per default for cygwin compiled Pythons.

Compile shared object files using -fPIC option when using GCC on Solaris (SF
patch #103865). Closes bug #132783. Move config.c generated by makesetup to
the Modules directory.
