9556fba685 - urllib2.py now knows how to order proxy classes, so the user doesn't
have to insert it in front of other classes, nor do dirty tricks like
  inserting a "dummy" HTTPHandler after a ProxyHandler when building an
  opener with proxy support.

fb1b5a164d Rewrite the description of setparameters() so it actually reflects the
code (which has also been recently overhauled, so that it can be
documented without embarassment).

'error' has been renamed to 'OSSAudioError'.

Minor wordsmithing.

dad58601a0 Remove the note about the BerkeleyDB license. Barry indicates that
sleepycat has told him that since python is OSS and berkeleydb is
being distributed with python for the bsddb library all is fine.

5772513f0f Include a link to the pybsddb web documentation for the modern object
oriented DbEnv & Db object BerkeleyDB interface.

Include a note about Sleepycat's BerkeleyDB license with regards to
distributing it within non-opensource applications and include a link
to their website for license details.

Document that 'r' is the default flag for the legacy bsddb btopen(),
hashopen(), and rnopen() functions.  This is apparently different than the
dbm libraries in other languages according to Bug #732951.  Changing
the default from 'r' to 'c' would break backwards compatibility with
legacy bsddb applications; documenting the default should suffice.

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.
