Summary: Argument passing from /usr/bin/idle2.3 to idle.py

Initial Comment:
/usr/bin/idle2.3 wrapper (from the 2.3.2-1pydotorg rpm) ignores 
command-line arguments when calling idle.py. Fixed only by adding 
"$*" to the script.

mwh helped me get the right check-out of the maintenance
releases.  I've committed these changes to the 2.3 and 2.4
maintenance branches.

I've tried checking out python23-maint, but the resulting
tree I'm getting has the latest .spec file.  I can make the
changes to 2.3, but I need some help on how to get a tree I
can check in against, or if I should submit patches to the
tracker.

This really ought to get into release24-maint and probably
release23-maint if you think anyone will ever build an rpm
from 2.3.5 (which is due out soon).

I went ahead and turned this into Python code and called
"execvp", passing the command arguments onto the idle call.
 This way there are no worries about how the shell handles
$* expansion.  The current CVS version results in something
looking like:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.4
import os, sys
os.execvp("/usr/bin/python2.4", ["/usr/bin/python2.4",
"/usr/lib/python2.4/idlelib/idle.py"] + sys.argv[1:])
print "Failed to exec Idle"
sys.exit(1)

(assuming default build settings)

Appears to be an issue with the Tools section of 
..../Misc/RPM/python-2.4.spec
Backport to release23-maint
