[Idle-dev] Fixing and Improving IDLE

[phil jones]

Seems a bit of overkill to have to check out the entire developers

Doesn't hg have submodules? Even if IDLE is in the standard library,
it must be possible to treat it as a separate project from the
developer's perspective and then merge it in when building a
distribution.
