(branch-creation time) up to 43067. 43068 and 43069 contain a little
swapping action between re.py and sre.py, and this mightily confuses svn
merge, so later changes are going in separately.
This merge should break no additional tests.
The last-merged revision is going in a 'last_merge' property on '.' (the
branch directory.) Arbitrarily chosen, really; if there's a BCP for this, I
couldn't find it, but we can easily change it afterwards ;)
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.
Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).
The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.
