  Speed up test_signal from ~24s to 4s by avoiding nearly all of the sleep calls.

  Try to fix test_signal breakages on Linux due to r61687. It appears that at
  least two of the linux build bots aren't leaving zombie processes around for
  os.waitpid to wait for, causing ECHILD errors. This would be a symptom of a bug
  somewhere, but probably not in signal itself.

  Try to fix test_signal on FreeBSD. I'm assuming that os.kill is failing to
  raise a signal, but switching to subprocess makes the code cleaner anyway.

  Speed test_threading up from 14s to .5s, and avoid a deadlock on certain
  failures. The test for enumerate-after-join is now a little less rigorous, but
  the bug it references says the error happened in the first couple iterations,
  so 100 iterations should still be enough.

  cProfile was useful for identifying the slow tests here.

+:mod:`future_builtins` --- Python 3 builtins
+============================================
+
+.. module:: future_builtins
+.. sectionauthor:: Georg Brandl
+.. versionadded:: 2.6
+
+This module provides functions that exist in 2.x, but have different behavior in
+Python 3, so they cannot be put into the 2.x builtin namespace.
+
+Instead, if you want to write code compatible with Python 3 builtins, import
+them from this module, like this::
+
+   from future_builtins import map, filter
+
+   ... code using Python 3-style map and filter ...
+
+The :program:`2to3` tool that ports Python 2 code to Python 3 will recognize
+this usage and leave the new builtins alone.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The Python 3 :func:`print` function is already in the builtins, but cannot be
+   accessed from Python 2 code unless you use the appropriate future statement::
+
+      from __future__ import print_function
+
+
+Available builtins are:
+
+.. function:: filter(function, iterable)
+
+   Works like :func:`itertools.ifilter`.
+
+.. function:: hex(object)
+
+   Works like the builtin :func:`hex`, but instead of :meth:`__hex__` it will
+   use the :meth:`__index__` method on its argument to get an integer that is
+   then converted to hexadecimal.
+
+.. function:: map(function, iterable, ...)
+
+   Works like :func:`itertools.imap`.
+
+.. function:: oct(object)
+
+   Works like the builtin :func:`oct`, but instead of :meth:`__oct__` it will
+   use the :meth:`__index__` method on its argument to get an integer that is
+   then converted to hexadecimal.
+

+   Works like :func:`itertools.izip`.
