Lots of documentation updates
added 4-argument template constructor to py::Tuple
added "add" member function to ClassWrapper<> to allow arbitrary Python
objects to be added to an extension class.
gen_all.py now generates support for n argument member functions and n+1
argument member functions at the suggestion of "Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve"
<rwgk@cci.lbl.gov>
Added regression tests and re-ordered declare_base calls to verify that the
phantom base class issue is resolved.

Integrated Ullrich Koethe's brilliant from_python_experiment for better
error-reporting in many cases.
extclass.h, gen_extclass.py:
removed special-case MSVC code
added much commentary
removed unused py_copy_to_new_value_holder
init_function.h, gen_init_function.py:
added missing 'template' keyword on type-dependent template member usage
removed special-case MSVC code
added much commentary

Removed the need for the phantom base class that screwed up inheritance
hierarchies, introduced error-prone ordering dependencies, and complexified
logic in many places!
extclass.h: Added some explanatory comments, removed wasteful m_self member
of HeldInstance
extclass_demo.cpp: Added #pragmas which allow compilation in ansi strict
mode under Metrowerks
functions.h: Added virtual_function as part of phantom base class removal;
expanded commentary
pyptr.h: Added some missing 'typename's and a GCC workaround fix
subclass.cpp: Added missing string literal const_cast<>s.

Fix friend function instantiation bug caught by Metrowerks (thanks
Metrowerks!)
Add proof-of-concept for one technique of wrapping function that return a
pointer
Worked around MSVC optimizer bug by writing to_python(double) and
to_python(float) out-of-line
2000-11-02 23:25
Add /Zm200 option to vc6_prj to deal with MSVC resource limitations
Remove conflicting /Ot option from vc6_prj release build

Added a fix for interactions between default virtual function
implementations and declare_base(). You still need to write your
declare_base() /after/ all member functions have been def()d for the two
classes concerned. Many, many thanks to Ullrich Koethe
<koethe@informatik.uni-hamburg.de> for all his work on this.
Added missing conversions:
to_python(float)
from_python(const char* const&)
from_python(const double&)
from_python(const float&)
Added a Regression test for a reference-counting bug thanks to Mark Evans
(<mark.evans@clarisay.com>)
const-ify ClassBase::getattr()
Add repr() function to Class<T>
Add to_python/from_python conversions for PyPtr<T>
Standardize set_item/get_item interfaces (instead of proxies) for Dict and List
Add Reprable<> template to newtypes.h
Fix a bug wherein the __module__ attribute would be lost for classes that have a
default virtual function implementation.
Remove extra ';' in module.cpp thanks to "Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve"
<rwgk@cci.lbl.gov>
Fix a bug in the code of example1.html
