Our Luxurious, Rubinesque, Python 2.4

[Jeff Epler]

In my experience, when built with the same compiler (gcc 3.3.3) the size
of the python library file (libpython2.x.a on unix machines) hasn't
changed much between 2.3, 2.4, and current CVS:
-rw-r--r--  1 jepler jepler  950426 Mar 31 21:37 libpython2.3.a
-rw-rw-r--  1 jepler jepler 1002158 Mar 31 21:36 libpython2.4.a
-rw-rw-r--  1 jepler jepler 1001982 Mar 31 21:36 libpython2.5.a

Between Python 2.3 and 2.4, the python.org people switched to a
different version of the Microsoft C compiler.  Perhaps this is (part
of) the explanation.
