Embed git in package
package.ps1 fetches PortableGit and embeds it in the package. This eliminates all but one runtime dependency (MSVC++ Redistributable). * Move Python into a new FOSS folder.

+.. _futurize-limitations:
+
+Known limitations
+-----------------
+
+``futurize`` and ``pasteurize`` are useful to automate much of the
+work of porting, particularly the boring repetitive text substitutions. They also
+help to flag which parts of the code require attention.
+
+Nevertheless, ``futurize`` and ``pasteurize`` are still incomplete and make
+some mistakes, like 2to3, on which they are based. Please report bugs on
+`GitHub <https://github.com/PythonCharmers/python-future/>`_. Contributions to
+the ``lib2to3``-based fixers for ``futurize`` and ``pasteurize`` are
+particularly welcome! Please see :ref:`contributing`.
+
+``futurize`` doesn't currently make the following change automatically:
+
+1. Strings containing ``\U`` produce a ``SyntaxError`` on Python 3. An example is::
+
+ s = 'C:\Users'.
+
+ Python 2 expands this to ``s = 'C:\\Users'``, but Python 3 requires a raw
+ prefix (``r'...'``). This also applies to multi-line strings (including
+ multi-line docstrings).
+
+Also see the tests in ``future/tests/test_futurize.py`` marked
+``@expectedFailure`` or ``@skip`` for known limitations.
