* Fix _init_main=0 example: set config._init_main to 0!
* Document special builds needed by some speficic options like
show_alloc_count.
* Specify that preconfiguration only requires command line arguments
for the "Python Configuration" (not for "Isolated Configuration").
The main change is the introduction of "Python Configuration" and
"Isolated Configuration" default configuration which are well better
defined. Replace all macros with functions.
Changes:
* PyPreConfig: no longer uses dynamically memory allocation,
allocator type becomes an enum, add parse_argv and configure_locale
field.
* PyConfig: Remove program field, rename module_search_path_env to
pythonpath_env
* New functions:
* PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
* PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
* PyConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
* PyConfig_InitPythonConfig()
* parse_argv default becomes 0
* Replace Py_INIT_xxx() macros with functions
* Document default values
* Remove PyConfig.dll_path
* Explain how PyConfig preinitializes Python and the relationship
between command line arguments and the pre-initialization.
* Rename use_module_search_paths to module_search_paths_set
* Rename PyInitError_Err() to PyInitError_Error()
* "Pre-initialization" => "Preinitialization"
* Reject preconfig=NULL and config=NULL
* Replace "wchar_t**" with "wchar_t * const *", same for "char**".
* Thomas Wouters is now the BDFL-delegate
* Elaborate the Rationale
* New "Path configuration" section
* New "Python Issues" section
* Add PyWideStringList_Insert() function
* Add PyConfig.configure_c_stdio option.
* Add PyConfig.parse_argv field
* Rename bytes/wide functions. Add "Bytes" to functions taking char*,
remove "Wide" from functions taking wchar_t*. Rename
PyConfig_DecodeLocale() to PyConfig_SetBytesString().
* PyConfig: Rename '_frozen' to 'pathconfig_warnings'
* Re-introduce PyConfig._init_main
* Complete tables of global configuration variables; annotate
variable values which are negated.
* Add default values of all PyPreConfig and PyConfig fields
* Elaborate the Rationale
* Add a few more issues
* Add PyPreConfig.legacy_windows_fs_encoding rules
* Add "Isolate Python" section
* PyConfig_SetString() and PyConfig_SetBytesString() now requires the
configuration as the first argument.
* Rename Py_UnixMain() to Py_BytesMain()
