David Naylor bba9c27d60 Update lang/pypy to 2.0.b1.
The internals of the port have been substantially reworked:
 * All predefined instances can be selected via options [1]
 * Optionally use options, if user does not overwrite instance list
 * Make translation with pypy an option, if it is available.
 * Make memory checking more refined [2]
 * Add a Wiki page details lang/pypy
 * Fix the test target
 * Refactor build target (easier to review, edit)
 * Rename patches to prevent churn

[1] Although two are broken upstream and one possibly discontinued
[2] My memory limits appear to be too conservative.  Set PYPY_IGNORE_MEM for now

PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language
(2.7.1). It has several advantages and distinct features:
- Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, Python programs often run faster
on PyPy.
- Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
space than they do in CPython.
- Compatibility: PyPy is highly compatible with existing python code. It
supports ctypes and can run popular python libraries like
twisted and django.
- Sandboxing: PyPy provides the ability to run untrusted code in a fully
secure way.
- Stackless: PyPy can be configured to run in stackless mode, providing
micro-threads for massive concurrency.
- As well as other features.
