Summary: kwdargs for compile/__import__

Initial Comment:
Keyword arguments for compile() and __import__(), as
discussed at PyCon. There is a slight speed difference
on my development system: __import__ is ~1% slower,
compile() is ~1.5% faster. I blame both on caches,
alignment and what not, so I bet they're totally
different for everyone. I'd say the advantage of
managing the growing set of arguments outweighs the
speed impact (if any.)

These look good to me.  Thanks Thomas. I had started a patch
for import.  BTW I think the new __import__ needs to be
documented in libfuncs.txt or somewhere like that.  If you
don't get to it, I'll find my change and update the docs.
