- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.
Inspired by FreeBSD "ports".
Fix the PLISTs accordingly.
Also, while at it, remove now obsolete compileall.py calls in post-install
targets and insure that extension.mk is in included before builinlinks of
other Python modules.

Changes :
- #514237 - The PluginLoader no longer requires a '.py'
extension on plugins. This should allow plugins to be written
in any language for which Python can load a module, and as
long as the file is named with the right convention they will
be picked up and loaded. (The source of this change request
was the maintainers of the PLD Linux Distribution.)
- Resolved defect #513850, where output was written to the wrong
place when the -d option was used.
- Resolved defect #510447, a problem with escaping special
characters in HTML output. Text enclosed in single quotes
is now not escaped in output so that HTML text can be
passed directly to the output file.
- Fixed a problem with Windows installation using 'setup.py'.
- Minor tweaks to the build and test tools.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
