QIO v0.3 (quick I/O) module for Python
September 1999, g.j. andruk

This module offers a much faster alernative to Python's built-in readline()
file method.  It is based on the QIO functions from InterNetNews, originally
written by Rich Salz and currently maintained by the Internet Software
Consorium.  For the original goods, visit <URL:http://www.isc.org/inn.html>

I did make a number of changes to make the library act more Pythonic.  If
there are bugs, it's a safe bet they were introduced by me.  For yelling
purposes, the contact address is <gerglery@usa.net> .

To build the module, run either make_static or make_shared.  You can then
install it on your system with the command ``make install''.

./make_shared	Make a shared module.  To test this, run the standard python
		interpreter in this directory and try to import qio.  Once
		you are satisfied that the module is working as expected
		(plug a handy filename into test.py and try it out), you
		can use the command `make install' (you'll probably need
		to be root to put it in the normal place) to install it.

./make_static	Make a static python binary with the qio module linked in. 
		To test this, run ./python and try to import qio.

./make_clean	Clean up after either of the above.  Note that make_shared
		and make_static start by calling this script, to begin with
		a clean slate.

See the file QIO.doc or the docstrings in the module for all the gory usage
details.
