Huge number of docstring changes, typo fixes, rewordings, GNU standard
conformations, etc., etc. inspired and given by Michael Ernst. These
include error string fixes, moving of comments to docstrings, some
other non-related typos, terminology standardizing (b/w TP and myself,
and b/w myself and myself :-) although more can still be done.
E.g. "outdenting" => "dedenting".
This file's previous log message is bogus. The real change is that
when it gets the path from the registry, it no longer appends the
default path to the end (which would mostly be a duplication).
Different version games:
- MS_DLL_ID is now set to "1.5" instead of "1.5.x" so Mark Hammond's
extensions won't have to be changed.
- FILEVERSION and PRODUCTVERSION are set to 1,5,2,1.
(The last number could be the build# or the alpha release# or so.)

(py-execute-region): When temp-names are broken (Emacs 19.34), a
serial number isn't enough to uniquify the temp file name -- what if
two users are on the same machine? Add in the (emacs-pid) to help
further. Should never be tickled on Emacs 20, XEmacs 20, 21.
Clarify that the Python interpreter lock need *not* be held by
PyInterpreterState_New() and PyThreadState_New() -- but that you may
use it to serialize calls to them.
Add built-in string variables 'quit' and 'exit' that display a hint on
how to exit (in a platform dependent way!). We use os.sep to
determine which platform we're on, since I expect that this will work
better for minority platforms.
Add warning that mutable argument defaults are evaluated only once;
with examples and workaround. This keeps coming up, and I believe
that this section in the tutorial may have been (in part) the source
of the confusion. While it didn't show examples with [] for a default,
it also didn't emphasize enough why that would be a bad idea, and
while it did say that defaults are evaluated at the point of function
definition, the example was not relevant for this issue.
Added note() message to Page class -- this was used but didn't exist.
(The alternative would be to call self.checker.note() but since
self.checker might be None that's not quite right.

Variant of AMK's patch to produce text versions of HOWTO documents.
This ensures that the text version uses latex2html's -split 1 option, without
affecting HTML produced in the same run, and also minimizes the number of
l2h runs needed if --split 1 was used for an HTML run.

Time machine experiment. Use '__name__' as the special key (always
present) that refers to the section name. Also added a (slightly)
better InterpolationError error message, which includes the raw
string.
Undo a silly effect of a global substitution: the macintosh panic()
function had a reference to vPySys_WriteStderr(...) -- turn it back
into fprintf(stder, ...).

build_html(): Simplify, so there's only one version of the latex2html
command line.
l2hoption(): Convenience function, to write out an option to the aux. init.
file only if set.
Added --iconserver option to set the $ICONSERVER variable in latex2html; this
requires the use of an auxillary init. file since this can't be initialized
using a standard latex2html command-line option. So the aux. init. file is
used for just about all the special options since it has to be written anyway
when $ICONSERVER needs to be set.
Added gethostbyname_ex(), which returns the same kind of data as
gethostbyaddr(). (Plain gethostbyname() returns only the IP address.)
This moves the code shared by gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname_ex()
to a subroutine.
Original patch by Dan Stromberg; some tweaks by GvR.
