+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news. + Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL; still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd). + Fleshed out build instructions. + Debug Python still blows up.

+ bugs.
+ XXX What are the licensing issues here?
+ XXX The debug Python still blows up (see PCbuild/readme.txt).
+ XXX The version # is likely to change before 2.3a1.
