Merge p3yk branch with the trunk up to revision 45595. This breaks a fair

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

+\subsection{Using locks, conditions, and semaphores in the \keyword{with}
+statement \label{with-locks}}
+
+All of the objects provided by this module that have \method{acquire()} and
+\method{release()} methods can be used as context managers for a \keyword{with}
+statement.  The \method{acquire()} method will be called when the block is
+entered, and \method{release()} will be called when the block is exited.
+
+Currently, \class{Lock}, \class{RLock}, \class{Condition}, \class{Semaphore},
+and \class{BoundedSemaphore} objects may be used as \keyword{with}
+statement context managers.  For example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+from __future__ import with_statement
+import threading
+
+some_rlock = threading.RLock()
+
+with some_rlock:
+    print "some_rlock is locked while this executes"
+\end{verbatim}
