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.

l2hoption(): Convenience function, to write out an option to the aux. init.

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

Lots of new stuff for "module synopsis support." Public interface consists
...
of three macros, one which replaces some of the current conventions used in
the module sections:
\declaremodule: Requires two parameters: module type (standard, builtin,
extension), and the module name. An optional parameter should be
given as the basis for the module's "key" used for linking to or
referencing the section. The "key" should only be given if the
module's name contains underscores, and should be the name with the
underscore's stripped. This should be the first thing after the
\section used to introduce the module.
\modulesynopsis: Requires a single parameter: a short, one-liner
description of the module that can be used as part of the chapter
introduction. This should probably be placed just after the
\declaremodule, but may be placed anywhere in the same section.
\localmoduletable: No parameters. If a .syn file exists for the current
chapter (or for the entire document in howto docs), a synopsistable
is created with the contents loaded from the .syn file.
Some re-organization due to module synopsis support.
Some \def's changed to \newcommand's.

Added a section to the chapter on modules, describing the package system.

The text is almost completely from GvR's essay on packages; some
introductory paragraphs have been removed, and everything after the
'Details' section in the HTML has been dropped (seems too technical). A
paragraph has been added after the sample package layout stating that there
must be a file called__init__.py in a directory to make it a package.

Subject: Typos in ref manual
Hi all,
browsing the reference manual I noticed what seem two small errors:
a) in the list of keywords (section 2.3.1) 'exec' is missing
b) in the Operator Precedence table (5.12) the comparison operators
include '=', but probably '==' was intended.
Hope this help,
