expunge the xmlcore changes:

  41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

+"""Python version compatibility support for minidom."""
+
+# This module should only be imported using "import *".
+#
+# The following names are defined:
+#
+#   NodeList      -- lightest possible NodeList implementation
+#
+#   EmptyNodeList -- lightest possible NodeList that is guarateed to
+#                    remain empty (immutable)
+#
+#   StringTypes   -- tuple of defined string types
+#
+#   defproperty   -- function used in conjunction with GetattrMagic;
+#                    using these together is needed to make them work
+#                    as efficiently as possible in both Python 2.2+
+#                    and older versions.  For example:
+#
+#                        class MyClass(GetattrMagic):
+#                            def _get_myattr(self):
+#                                return something
+#
+#                        defproperty(MyClass, "myattr",
+#                                    "return some value")
+#
+#                    For Python 2.2 and newer, this will construct a
+#                    property object on the class, which avoids
+#                    needing to override __getattr__().  It will only
+#                    work for read-only attributes.
+#
+#                    For older versions of Python, inheriting from
+#                    GetattrMagic will use the traditional
+#                    __getattr__() hackery to achieve the same effect,
+#                    but less efficiently.
+#
+#                    defproperty() should be used for each version of
+#                    the relevant _get_<property>() function.
