  Added kill, terminate and send_signal to subprocess.Popen

  Correct documentation for math.pow;
  0**nan is nan, not 0.  (But nan**0 and 1**nan are 1.)

  Yet more explicit special case handling to make
  math.pow behave on alpha Tru64.  All IEEE 754
  special values are now handled directly; only
  the finite**finite case is handled by libm.

  Issue 2662: Initialize special value tables dynamically (i.e. when
  cmath module is loaded) instead of statically. This fixes compile-time
  problems on platforms where HUGE_VAL is an extern variable rather than
  a constant.

  Thanks Hirokazu Yamamoto for the patch.
