+       py-compile: normalize error and help messages
+       * lib/py-compile: Now error messages do not begin with a capital
+       letter, nor end with a period, as per GNU standards.  Prepend the
+       error messages with the name of the script, not with its path.
+       When an invalid usage is recognized, always display the customary
+       message "Try `py-compile --help' ..." on a line of its own.
+       ($me): New variable, containing the name of the
+       program, i.e., `py-compile'.  Use it throughout.
+       (usage_error): New function, used to display error messages about
+       invalid usage.
+       * tests/py-compile-usage.test: Extend and tighten accordingly.

+       * tests/py-compile-usage.test: Likewise.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
+       Tested with python 2.0.1, 2.4.6, 2.6.6, 2.7.1, and 3.1.3.

        py-compile: the '--destdir' option now accepts a blank argument
        * lib/py-compile (Option parsing): Do not count an empty argument
        to `--destdir' or `--basedir' as a missing argument.
