  - unittest.py now has two additional methods called assertAlmostEqual()
!   and failIfAlmostEqual().  They implement an approximate comparision
    by rounding the difference between the two arguments and comparing
!   the result to zero.  Approximate comparision is essential for
    unit tests of floating point results.

  - When Python is built under a Microsoft compiler, sys.version now

    the value of _MSC_VER under MSVC 6.
