6a6bb1828b Clarify that on some systems, lockf() using LOCK_EX requires that the file
is opened for writing; this closes SF bug #485342.

Added notes that file objects are also accepted in the place of file
descriptors.

c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

7064d3b581 Fix the default value for feature_namespaces, per discussions on the XML-SIG
mailing list.  This causes the docs to match the default implementation.

69ab5836ae Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ get
called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.

ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers:
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.

which is a little more strict than the other formats on some things (fixable,
but not tonight).

5ebfd36afa CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps.  A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
