+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;

+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.

-------
+- The Windows distribution now ships with version 4.0.14 of the

+ 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.
