01884d56f4 Deprecate sys.exitfunc in favor of the atexit module.
Per Guido, sys.exitfunc will be kept around for backwards compatability
but atexit will become the one preferred way to do it.

longer.  Pointed out by Alex Martelli.

73d538b9c6 Always initialize Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding on Unix in Py_Initialize,
and not as a side effect of setlocale. Expose it as sys.getfilesystemencoding.
Adjust test case.

46d3dc37e4 - New function sys.exc_clear() clears the current exception. This is
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
  referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2].  (SF patch
  #693195.)  Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!

c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.
