Barry Warsaw a17e0f1b61 A bunch of changes, primarily to command line argument parsing
(inspired by Detlef Lannert).  Specifically,

    -k/--keyword no longer takes an optional argument to clear the
    default keywords.  Instead, use -K/--no-default-keywords to clear
    them.

    -n/--add-location also no longer takes an optional argument to set
    the comment style.  Instead, use -S/--style to set the comment
    style to GNU or Solaris.

    -o/--output can take `-' as the filename, meaning write to
    standard output.

    The inputfile name can also be `-' meaning read from standard in.

A few other changes include

    Kludge to mark the file docstring as translatable.  Since the
    marking is to place _() around the docstring, and because we
    actually have to define the _() function before we use it, this
    means that we have to manually assign to __doc__ the output of
    _().  This doesn't seem too bad because you'll only use this idiom
    when translating a script's docstring (you really don't need to
    translate most module docstrings).

    Convert everything to string methods and do not import the string
    module.

    Bump the version number to 1.1

README

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

bgen		Generate complete extension modules from a
		description.  Still under development!

faqwiz		FAQ Wizard.
		See http://grail.cnri.reston.va.us/cgi-bin/faqw.py
		for a live example.

freeze		Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

modulator	Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension
		module.  Works easiest if you have Tk.

scripts		A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
		(by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing
		of tabs and spaces.

versioncheck	A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest
		version of a package (by Jack Jansen).

webchecker	A link checker for web sites.
