[Stackless] CVS 2.2 or 2.3

[Ionutz Borcoman]

Hi,

My original impression was the same - stackless is a different beast, 
but I've got missleaded by some remarks from http://www.stackless.com/.

Nevertheless, the stackless is based on python so I wonder if it isn't 
possible to distribute only the diffs between stackless and official 
python. This way sombody could scan (audit :) easily changes between the 
two ...

TIA,

Ionutz
