Log Message:
Record that FCNTL.py has gone away; remove FCNTL hack in tempfile.py;
another hack remains in test___all__.py, but the problem that one
addresses is more general than *just* FCNTL, so leaving it alone.

 -------
 
+ - The obsolete FCNTL.py has been deleted. The builtin fcntl module
+ has been available (on platforms that support fcntl) since Python
+ 1.5a3, and all FCNTL.py did is export fcntl's names, after generating
+ a deprecation warning telling you to use fcntl directly.
+ 
 - Several new unicode codecs are added: big5hkscs, euc_jis_2004,
 iso2022_jp_2004, shift_jis_2004.
