| | | | | | 'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python wrapper.

| | | | | | | did the same anyway. I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
