  Introduce a user macro named $(externalsDir), which should point to the root directory of where all the external sources should live.  Developers can change this value if their external sources live elsewhere.  The default of '..\..' matches the current status quo.

  Fix issue2588: Do not execute str[size-1] = '\0' when a 0 size is

  Fix issue 2782: be less strict about the format string type in strftime.
  Accept unicode and anything else ParseTuple "s#" can deal with.  This
  matches the time.strftime behavior.
