Fix \seepep handling -- correct URL to the online PEP repository on SF is
...
now generated. (SF bug #129692.)
Patch from Anthon van der Neut <anthon@mnt.org>:
Work around the removal of content-less paired tags used for name
anchors in some places. (SF bug #116008.)
Move some class attributes from an artificial SPAN element to otherwise
"useful" elements that are being generated anyway. Added the class
"versionnote", used for \deprecated, \versionadded, \versionchanged.

The only missing section is the Nested Scopes section, which has to wait
to see if a patch is actually committed. (Plus any other notable changes
that get made or backed out between now and 2.1final, of course...)

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.
