When we merged IDLEfork the consensus was to keep the versioning
separate.  But it seems confusing and is extra work for the release
managers.

Right now IDLE has a button in the "About IDLE" dialog which accesses
the IDLE NEWS.txt file, and another which accesses Python's NEWS.
IDLE users may not want to grovel through all the Python changes to
find out what changed in the IDE.

It would be nice if the key IDLE changes could make it to the "What's New
in Python X.X".  If Andrew is interested, I could draft something for him.
