6e75364cbe I'd forgotten that tcsh was the default for 10.1, but SF's 10.1 system
uses bash and so does my 10.2 system.  "limit stacksize 2048" is the
right invocation for tcsh/csh.

6a8557da36 There was a typo in the MacOSX section regarding the stacksize issue.
There's no limit command near as I can tell.  Should be the bash
builtin ulimit command.

57454e57f8 This introduces stricter library/header file checking for the Berkeley DB
library.  Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other.  Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering.  It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py.  Closes patch 553108.

7b8c7546eb Mass checkin of universal newline support.
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.

See PEP278 for details.

Doc/README is odd; it assigns some copyright to the PSF in 2000, when
I didn't think it existed...
