mds-utils 1.3.0 release

[Michele De Stefano]

After 3 years of "no enhancement" I'm pleased to announce a new release of
the mds-utils <http://code.google.com/p/mds-utils> library (general purpose
utilities for C++ and Python developers). The library contains useful C++
code for developing Python extensions through Boost.Python but also through
SWIG or the simple C API.

At present mds-utils contains:

   1. a tool for detecting machine endianity.
   2. some useful classes that allow to treat the old C FILE pointer as a
   C++ stream.
   3. C++ classes that help on treating Python file objects as C++ streams.
   4. simple utilities for indexing support in Python extensions.
   5. new C++ to-Python and from-Python converters for some Boost uBlas
   objects.
   6. a new sequence iterator that is able to wrap Python sequences and
   allows also to modify them. This feature does not depend on Boost.Python.
   7. new from/to Python conversion utilities that do not depend on
   Boost.Python.

Furthermore, the new release has been tested with Python 2.7.3 too, while
the previous one had some issues with Python >= 2.5.
Best regards to all.
