PSF core grant, day 21: new Python 2/3 porting HOWTO, fixing static analysis warnings

Big news today (at least for me) is that Georg let me check in the Python 2/3 porting HOWTO into py3k so it will be included with Python 3.2. Unfortunately I have no link to give out at the moment as the docs have not done their daily rebuild yet.

The other thing that I did was re-run Clang's static analyzer over CPython with certain function annotated as 'noreturn' and use their newest release. In the end this led to a bunch of dead code being removed and one bug being found in sqlite3.
