These patches primarily fix issues I encountered while running Selenium 2.23.0 under
Jython 2.7.0a2 on Windows 7 64-bit with 32-bit Java. These patches also fix at least
one issue with the Internet Explorer web driver under Python 2.7.3 32-bit on Windows
7 64-bit.

Web Drivers Tested in Jython 2.7.0a2 and Python 2.7.3
Chrome
Firefox
IE 9 32-bit without IEWebDriverServer.exe
IE 9 32-bit with IEWebDriverServer.exe
IE 9 64-bit with IEWebDriverServer.exe

The following steps will reproduce the issues and verify the fix.
1. Get a computer with Windows 7 64-bit.
2. Install Java 1.6.0_32 32-bit.
3. Set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_32
4. Prepend your PATH environment variable with %JAVA_HOME%\bin;
5. Install Jython 2.7.0a2.
6. Apply the following two small workarounds.

Here is a cross reference to a new unresolved Jython issue about the implementation
differences that make these Selenium patches necessary.

http://bugs.jython.org/issue1918

I have updated your bug report on the jython bug tracker: I'm afraid that deferred socket
creation on jython is not an "unresolved issue": it is the only viable solution to
the problem of implementing the cpython socket API on jython.

http://bugs.jython.org/issue1918

As I have noted your bug report, I am open to updating the documentation so that this
point is made even more explicitly clear (though I thought that the documentation was
already clear enough on this point).
