[Idle-dev] idle-fork, merging 2x SPE patches

I've just been looking at PyShell.py after working my way up merging in 
reverse alpha file order from testcode.py, and it looks like I've reached the 
first file where the issue of  "2 x separate process execution 
implementations" (from here on called "SPE" patrches in this message) raises 
its head.

It seems like two possible options for handling this may be:

1. Continue merging py-cvs such that the original David Scherer  SPE patches 
remain undisturbed, and then work out their relationship to the new Guido 
patches and figure out which parts of which person's patches to continue 
forward with.

or

2.  Merge py-cvs such that David's SPE patches are reduced to exisitng only 
in prior versions, then merge the new Guido SPE patches and look at things 
from that perspective.

There are probably way better options than either of these two for handling 
the situation but I'm too tired at the moment to think on it anymore so I'm 
going to have some dinner.

Regards,
Stephen.
