Make the syntax of compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
These changes are an adaptation of SF patch #429611 .
Use the new tools/rewrite.py instead of grep/date/sed to transform
html/index.html.in into html/index.html; this is required for portability.

Add a really stupid warning about 'yield' used as an identifier.
...
This is really stupid because it cannot be suppressed or altered using
the warning framework; that's because the warning framework is built
on Python interpreter internals, and the parser generator doesn't have
access to any of those (you cannot use anything of type PyObject * in
the parser).
But it's better than nothing, and implementing a proper check for this
appears to require modifying compile.c in a dozen places, for which I
don't have the stamina today. I promise we'll do better in 2.2a2.
At least it tells you the filename and line number (unlike the first
hack I considered :-).

Make the syntax for compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).

This is probably not sufficient by itself for the info generation, and is
being done mostly to keep the style consistent with additional patches
that will be applied to Doc/Makefile.

Script to re-write @FOO@-style marks with values, initializing the
...
replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).
This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.
This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611 , but does
not use the suggested patch.
