I have a new garbage collection patch for Python available.

    http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~nascheme/python/gc.html

The patch is now for Python 1.5.2c.  Also, a new configure
option, "--with-gc", has been added.  It has been tested only on
Linux.  It should however work on other Unix machines.

Unfortunately, it does not yet work on Windows.  I seem to have
the gc library working okay.  Also, I have Python starting up but
it dies because a module dictionary has not been initialized.
Very strange.  I will work on it more when I feel like rebooting
my machine. :)
