Extension modules
-----------------
+- the socket module has a new exception, socket.timeout, to allow
+ timeouts to be handled separately from other socket errors.
+
- mimetools.choose_boundary() could return duplicate strings at times,
especially likely on Windows. The strings returned are now guaranteed
unique within a single program run.
