1f53517a8c Use True/False instead of 1/0 when talking about store_true/store_false.
Particularly important since they now store True and False rather than 1
and 0!

c50b088cfd Add a big comment about cross-platform issues (especially OpenBSD).
This should be turned into a footnote by someone who actually
understands OSS and its relationship to Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD,
etc.

341deb74e7 The previous made the stop argument optional.
It is better to be explicit and just allow stop to be None.

6e887bb05f SF bug #729096: getopt online documentation example improvement
A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a
case that used only short options or long options but not both.
He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma,
The appropriate pattern is an equality check.

Revised the example to point him in the right direction.

Backport candidate.

5501b5e3d7 SF bug 728097: tmpnam problems on windows 2.3b, breaks test.test_os.
tmpnam() appears essentially useless on Windows, and it finally broke
the test for Irmen de Jong.  Read the long new comment in test_tmpnam()
for details.  Since the MS implementation is insane, it might be good
if we supplied a different implementation.

Bugfix candidate.
