c84d8bd7be Simple fix from Jin Fulton to avoid returning a half-initialized
module when e.g. copy_reg.py doesn't exist.  This caused a core dump.

This closes SF bug 112944.

5fad268ffc Bullet-proofing of 'make_release_tree()':
- 'mkpath()' the distribution dir in case of empty manifest
  - warn if empty manifest
  - detect, warn about, and skip non-regular files in manifest

d3b76a8fbf Reorganized logic in 'get_file_list()' so it's easier to read, and fixed a
bug to boot: now works even if both MANIFEST and MANIFEST.in don't exist.
Don't hardcode setup.py, use 'self.distribution.script_name'.

8b09233f93 Added Windows news. Also repeated 1.6 Windows news since most people getting
2.0b1 for Windows will not have bothered getting 1.6.  Also changed
"Changed, New, Obsolete Tools" to say "None" since nobody had put an entry
there.

24c3d6080d All the NEWS that I could finish in 15 minutes (and then some)
Removed some attributions from the shorter entries in Changed Modules,
because that section is so long.

4f40c2d49c Many changes suggested by Bob Weiner, mostly small grammatical fixes
or other clarifications, with the occasional plug for BeOpen
PythonLabs thrown in.  Also added a trademarks disclaimer.

8bdf0bf705 Fix PDF generation.
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file.  This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.

82de71dae8 Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.

e905e95721 Barry Warsaw: Fixed -+ operator. Added some new sections. Leave some
XXX notes for now.

I could use help here!!!!  Please mail me patches ASAP.  We may have
to put some of this off to 2.0final, but it's best to have it in shape
now...

82271161cc Since it looks like the dual license clause may be neither necessary
nor sufficient to make Python 2.0 compatible with the GPL, we won't
bother with it now.

In other words, we're still where we were weeks ago -- CNRI believes
that its license is GPL-compatible, Stallman says it's not.  I'm
trying to arrange a meeting between their lawyers so they can work it
out.  Whether dual licensing is the solution is open at this point.
If it is the (only!) solution, we'll add that to the BeOpen license
for 2.0 final.

50699215f8 test_mmap wrote null bytes into its expected-output file; this caused me to
waste an hour tracking down an illusion; repaired it; writing/reading non-
printable characters (except \t\r\n) into/outof text-mode files ain't
defined x-platform, and at least some Windows text editors do surprising
things in their presence.
Also added a by-hand "build humber" to the Windows build, in an approximation
of Python's inexplicable BUILD-number Unix scheme.  I'll try to remember to
increment it each time I make a Windows installer available.  It's starting
at 2, cuz I've put 2 installers out so far (both with BUILD #0).

b89f41efbc Fixes bug in --with-libdb. If --with-libdb was not specified (default is to
enable it), but db.h was not found, the WITH_LIBDB macros was still being
defined, resulting in compilation errors.  Also added a short explain when
bsddb support wasn't enabled (because db.h wasn't found) when the user
explicitly used --with-libdb on the configure command line.
