Please reply to the issue tracker!

Yes, it makes sense. If it all, then I will add the whole thing that 
Python3.X
added to the install. Currently I'm trying to find out what a minimalistic
port does actually need.

The criterion is:

- get everything what CPython 3.4 needs for this feature

- find out what the dependencies are

- find a minimalistic approach that is sufficient.

This will probably always be the basic set of requirements.
We do not want to produce new problems, but to solve the existing ones.
We want to do the necessary, minimalistic but sufficient steps to get there.

Please keep this in mind when submitting feature demands.

Cheers -  Chris
