Psyco shows that it is possible to execute Python code at speeds
approaching that of fully compiled languages, by "specialization". The
current prototype operates on i386-compatible processors and shows 2
to 100 times speed-ups, depending on code.

o Update to 1.3
- Includes support for Python 2.4
- Fix a memory leak when using the profiler
- Built-in functions that read the local variables -- locals(),
eval(), execfile(), vars(), dir(), input() -- now work correctly

Before committing the previous BROKEN changes I carefully checked the status
of each port on bento and for recent fixes. Unfortunately at some point I
got confused and switched to the wrong list :-) As a result I picked up a
number of ports that were fixed a while ago. Sorry for the false alarm,
maintainers.
