[Python-checkins] python/dist/src/Modules gcmodule.c,2.78,2.79

[tim_one at users.sourceforge.net]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Modules
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv5258/modules

Modified Files:
	gcmodule.c 
Log Message:
gc list function cleanup.

Introduced gc_list_move(), which captures the common gc_list_remove() +
gc_list_append() sequence.  In fact, no uses of gc_list_append() remained
(they were all in a gc_list_move() sequence), so commented that one out.

gc_list_merge():  assert that `from` != `to`; that was an implicit
precondition, now verified in a debug build.

Others:  added comments about their purpose.
