Remove svn:mime-type (inexplicably set to a binary type),
and set svn:eol-style to native, on some text files.

-Welcome to the "PC" subdirectory of the Python distribution
-***********************************************************
-
-*** Note: the project files for MS VC++ 7.1 are now in the
-*** PCbuild directory. See the file readme.txt there for build
-*** instructions. There is some information below that might
-*** still be relevant.
-
-This "PC" subdirectory contains complete project files to make
-several older PC ports of Python, as well as all the PC-specific
-Python source files. It should be located in the root of the
-Python distribution, and there should be directories "Modules",
-"Objects", "Python", etc. in the parent directory of this "PC"
-subdirectory. Be sure to read the documentation in the Python
-distribution.
-
-Python requires library files such as string.py to be available in
-one or more library directories. The search path of libraries is
-set up when Python starts. To see the current Python library search
-path, start Python and enter "import sys" and "print sys.path".
-
-All PC ports use this scheme to try to set up a module search path:
-
- 1) The script location; the current directory without script.
- 2) The PYTHONPATH variable, if set.
- 3) For Win32 platforms (NT/95), paths specified in the Registry.
- 4) Default directories lib, lib/win, lib/test, lib/tkinter;
- these are searched relative to the environment variable
- PYTHONHOME, if set, or relative to the executable and its
- ancestors, if a landmark file (Lib/string.py) is found ,
- or the current directory (not useful).
- 5) The directory containing the executable.
-
-The best installation strategy is to put the Python executable (and
-DLL, for Win32 platforms) in some convenient directory such as
-C:/python, and copy all library files and subdirectories (using XCOPY)
-to C:/python/lib. Then you don't need to set PYTHONPATH. Otherwise,
-set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to your Python search path.
-For example,
- set PYTHONPATH=.;d:\python\lib;d:\python\lib\win;d:\python\lib\dos-8x3
-
-There are several add-in modules to build Python programs which use
-the native Windows operating environment. The ports here just make
-"QuickWin" and DOS Python versions which support a character-mode
-(console) environment. Look in www.python.org for Tkinter, PythonWin,
-WPY and wxPython.
-
-To make a Python port, start the Integrated Development Environment
-(IDE) of your compiler, and read in the native "project file"
-(or makefile) provided. This will enable you to change any source
-files or build settings so you can make custom builds.
-
-pyconfig.h An important configuration file specific to PC's.
-
-config.c The list of C modules to include in the Python PC
- version. Manually edit this file to add or
- remove Python modules.
-
-testpy.py A Python test program. Run this to test your
- Python port. It should produce copious output,
- ending in a report on how many tests were OK, how many
- failed, and how many were skipped. Don't worry about
- skipped tests (these test unavailable optional features).
-
-
-Additional files and subdirectories for 32-bit Windows
-======================================================
-
-python_nt.rc Resource compiler input for python15.dll.
-
-dl_nt.c, import_nt.c
- Additional sources used for 32-bit Windows features.
-
-getpathp.c Default sys.path calculations (for all PC platforms).
-
-dllbase_nt.txt A (manually maintained) list of base addresses for
- various DLLs, to avoid run-time relocation.
-
-example_nt A subdirectory showing how to build an extension as a
- DLL.
-
-Visual Studio 6.0
-=================
-The subdirectory VC6 contains Visual Studio 6 project files. These
-were originally located in the PCBuild directory, but are no longer
-maintained.
-
-
-IBM VisualAge C/C++ for OS/2
-============================
-
-See os2vacpp/readme.txt. This platform is supported by Jeff Rush.
-
-
-Note for Windows 3.x and DOS users
-==================================
-
-Neither Windows 3.x nor DOS is supported any more. The last Python
-version that supported these was Python 1.5.2; the support files were
-present in Python 2.0 but weren't updated, and it is not our intention
-to support these platforms for Python 2.x.
