[MATRIX-SIG] Python-1.5b1 + LLNL extensions available

[L. Busby]

I've done a quick, hopefully not too dirty, transfer of most of the
LLNL Python extensions to Python-1.5b1.  See

  ftp://ftp-icf.llnl.gov/pub/python/Python-1.5b1+LLNL.tgz.

Apologies in advance for the size of this file.  I stress that this is
an initial release for those early adopters who need our extensions.
Our future plans per NumPy stewardship, unbundling of extensions, etc.
are unchanged.  (They're still in the future. :-)

All our extensions save for the C++ changes are in the above file.
We're investigating if those can be added to Python-1.5 without changes
to the core code.  If you need that extension *now* in Python-1.5b1, see
the file

  ftp://ftp-icf.llnl.gov/pub/python/diffs-1.4-to-llnl.

This file is diff output for those files in Python-1.4 modified by
LLNL.  A motivated patcher could add our C++ extensions to 1.5b1 in
fairly short order by inspecting those differences.
