April 10 ~1200 GMT: release ends

By now, F, T & J have done their bits, uploaded files to creosote and sf (or pointed me to where I can get them), etc.

Michael, my stuff is done. I've announced it on the pythonmac-sig and given people there 12 hours to find any showstopper bugs, so unless I ask you not to go ahead within twelve hours it's all yours (I understand that we're not doing sf releases anymore, and I don't have access to creosote). The files are in http://www.cwi.nl/ftp/jack/python/mac, you want MacPython221full (both .hqx and .bin) and MacPython221src (both .hqx and .sit). You may also want MacPython221MacOS81patch (.hqx and .sit) which makes this release run on really old MacOS versions.

If you are going to put a blurb in your message announcing 2.2.1 there are two fixes in it that are very important to Mac users: - This release finally works on Mac OS X multiprocessors - The IDE is now fully functional on Mac OS X.
