Hack for Windows so that if (1) the exit status is nonzero and (2) we
...
think we have our own DOS box (i.e. we're not started from a command
line shell), we print a message and wait for the user to hit a key
before the DOS box is closed.
The hacky heuristic for determining whether we have our *own* DOS box
(due to Mark Hammond) is to test whether we're on line zero...

The following patches (relative to 1.5.2b1) enable Python dynamic
loading to work on NetBSD platforms that use ELF (presnetly mips and
alpha systems). They automaticly determine wether the system is ELF or
a.out rather than using astatic list of platforms so that when other
NetBSD platforms move to ELF, python will continue to work without
change.

convert(): Make sure no line has trailing whitespace. (docfixer.py

checks for \n\n as a paragraph separator, LaTeX allows white
space between the newlines.)

write_idxfile(): New function. Isolate format of the external index
...
data file used by buildindex.py.
next_argument_id(): Removed; no longer used.
next_argument(): Doesn't use next_argument_id(), just does the work.
gen_target(), gen_target_name(): Removed, no longer used. The only
place that used them now does the (trivial) work directly.
Lots of little changes so we never have to pass around $br_id values
all over the place. The only places they're used now new IDs are
generated as needed.
