\funcitem{}, \dataitem{}, \excitem{}: Removed obsolete macros; there are no
longer used anywhere. Use the {*desc} environments instead.
\var{}: Ensure that the argument is always set in roman italic, in case an
alternate font is being used for code. These keeps the result of
\var{} consistent.
Some minor changes to allow easier exploration of alternate fonts for code in
the running text. Haven't changed the selected font; I haven't found one that
has everything required! (The best non-monospaced font so far was missing
the <, >, and | characters, or at least had them at the wrong locations. It
also allowed confusion between upper-case I and lower-case L.)

Mods by Bill Bedford
- Use internal version of finder class so we don't drag in finder
tools
- error -1704 also ignored during arg unpack
- Use Scriptable Text Editor for example

Removed tarps2, tardvi targets based on comments from Guido.
Added -9 option to gzip. This doesn't save much space, but it's "free" and
appreaciated by those with slow modems. (With these tarballs, that means
"those with modems"...!)

Override several functions from the stock latex2html to support the module
index. It works, it's ugly, and would probably have to be completely redone
if we changed latex2html versions. See the comments. ;-(

Added support for \funcline{} and \dataline{}.
For all generated cases of <strong>...</strong> (from this module), change to
<b>...</b>. This, from me? This is entirely to reduce the size of the
generated markup, which is more of an issue than semantics here. Since
<strong> isn't very meaningful anyway, this should be good.

\optional{}: Removed leading word space, allowing more flexibility.
{seealso} environment: Always start a new paragraph after the "See Also:"
line; this ensures that formatting is consistent for each subsequent
\see*{} item.

Follow current recommended practice in an example: Use isinstance() to
perform a type test instead of type(x) == types.FoobarType. In example
for type().

Add module reference for cPickle to index.
Consistency: Always use trailing "()" for function and method names in text.
Consistency: Always mark parameter names with \var{} in text.
Change questionable text about CORBA to definate text about XDR; "CORBA" isn't
enough to specify an external representation, and I'm not sure the comment is
right if we say "IIOP". I know its right about XDR if we only mention shared
object references and not recursive structures.

Consistency: Always use lower-case markup; one tag was still given in
uppercase. (Makes it easier to see what markup is generated by the
Python manual support and what is generated by standard latex2html.)

\mytableofcontents New macro. Wrapper around \tableofcontents that
does the right thing if the openright option is given. Allows a
lot of crud to be removed from the document files' frontmatter
sections.
\endabstract Extend standard macro. (Called as \end{abstract}.)
Does the right thing if the openright option is given.
\optional Adjust to get the brackets right under latex2e.

I give in. Now Tk is also using resources just above 128, so Python
now uses only 228-256, leaving 128-228 free for others. This mod
affects prefs files, libraries and almost everything else, so I've
upped my local Python to 1.5b4 to remain sane.

In description of \D, revise markup so that the caret shows up in the HTML
version as well as the dvi form. Without the fix, it showed up as an extra
zero character.
Dangerous feature added: when removing local files (i.e., only when -r
is used), do a recursive delete. Use -r with even more caution!
Also changed usage message into a doc string, added a comment or two,
and rearranged a long line.

Descriptions for PyRun_String(), PyRun_File(), and PyRun_CompileString() all
gave the return type as part of the function field and used an empty return
type field. Fixed.
Function name field for PyLong_FromString() included an asterisk at the
beginning of the function name field; removed.

In description of the group() method, fix markup of "\(" and "\)" literals;
"\code{\\(}" produces "(" in the .dvi file and "<BR> (" in the latex2html
output (the font was right). Changed to "\code{{\e}(}" variation, which
fixes both. Breaks the .texi file generation again. Oh well.
