[Python-Dev] Python 2.2a1 nits

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Here's a summary of nits I found compiling Python 2.2a1:

* configure options: the options should follow a single
  methodology (either all use --with(out)-<feature> or all
  use --enable-<feature>/--disable-<feature>) and the
  defaults should be clearly indicated...

  --without-gcc                   never use gcc
  --with-cxx=<compiler>           enable C++ support
  --with-suffix=.exe              set executable suffix
  --with-pydebug                  build with Py_DEBUG defined
  --enable-ipv6                   Enable ipv6 (with ipv4) support
  --disable-ipv6                  Disable ipv6 support
  --with-libs='lib1 ...'          link against additional libs
  --with-signal-module            disable/enable signal module
  --with-dec-threads              use DEC Alpha/OSF1 thread-safe libraries
  --with(out)-threads[=DIRECTORY] disable/enable thread support
  --with(out)-thread[=DIRECTORY]  deprecated; use --with(out)-threads
  --with-pth                      use GNU pth threading libraries
  --with(out)-cycle-gc            disable/enable garbage collection
  --with(out)-pymalloc            disable/enable specialized mallocs
  --with-wctype-functions         use wctype.h functions
  --with-sgi-dl=DIRECTORY         IRIX 4 dynamic linking
  --with-dl-dld=DL_DIR,DLD_DIR    GNU dynamic linking
  --with-fpectl                   enable SIGFPE catching
  --with-libm=STRING              math library
  --with-libc=STRING              C library
  --enable-unicode[=ucs2,ucs4]    Enable Unicode strings (default is yes)

  I'd suggest going with --with(out)-<feature> since this
  seems to be the most often used one.

* warnings:

In file included from ./Modules/_sre.c:54:
Modules/sre.h:24: warning: `SRE_CODE' redefined
