[Python-porting] Porting guides in the Wiki

Hi,
I've created two porting guide skeletons in the Wiki. The portal page
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingToPy3k
links to one page for Python code, one page for C code. The C code one
is currently a copy of the doc Benjamin wrote (which I completely forgot
about). It can serve as a good starting point.
For the Python code one, I've just started a list of topics and pasted
Martin's comments from psycopg2 porting.
Perhaps we should also collect blog posts from module authors porting
their modules?
Some notes for editors:
* Please keep the formatting as reST, so that the finished docs can easily
be put into the official docs when ready.
* Use Sphinx roles if you know them; this will make proper marking up
faster. To make the stock docutils not complain about Sphinx roles
in the text, put a role directive at the top of the page for each
Sphinx role you introduce. For example, for the :func: role, add
.. role:: func(literal)
* Otherwise, please don't feel restricted by anything. Feel free to add
just notes, comments, links or whatever -- it is a wiki after all.
cheers,
Georg
