Title says it all.

Same for Misc/SpecialBuilds.

I've done what I plan to do to Misc and moving Porting was not part of it. I have no issue if someone else moves it, though.

Well then let's reopen and unassign.

Misc/Porting is a single FAQ, and could be added somewhere with the other FAQs in the devguide.  It might need some rephrasing since it uses the first person.

Misc/SpecialBuilds.txt looks like something that should go in the regular docs, possibly as an HOWTO.

I created a patch to the devguide with some rewording as necessary. As I am not an expert on porting Python, it would be great if someone could point out any mistakes I made. The new FAQ is at the very bottom of the file, as I didn't find any other category to place it in.

If people port Python to new platforms on a regular basis, I suggest adding a hint to discuss it on some mailing list, or that this FAQ is expanded into a more substantial piece of documentation. But then, I guess few people have an issue with Python not building on their system these days?

I reviewed the patch for this issue, and it looks ready to commit. If one of the core devs could do the commit review/merge, we can close out this issue :)

Thanks Paul for your contribution. The patch looks good. As a tip for the future, it's helpful if you mention another section in the devguide to create a link to it.

Let's get this merged and closed :D

Thanks Berker for the commit review. 
Paul Anton Letnes, thanks for your contribution to the devguide. Nicely done.

I believe someone should also commit the following command:
hg rm Misc/porting
in the main python repository, since the contents of this file are now found in the devguide.
