Adding what's done of the documentation for the new profiling &

tracing interface. Incomplete, but better to check it in since I've
been including it in my updates.

Bump the release number.
...
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.

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.

Updated the documentation in several respects:
...
- This module, despite its name, now should conform to RFC 2822, the
update to RFC 822.
- This module doesn't just represent "email headers", but entire email
messages.
- Added documentation for other useful public functions such as
quote(), unquote(), praseaddr(), and dump_address_pair().

First version of xmlrpclib docs. Probably has markup errors; is not complete,

and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().
Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.

Turns out Neil didn't intend for *all* of his gen-branch work to get
...
committed.
tokenize.py: I like these changes, and have tested them extensively
without even realizing it, so I just updated the docstring and the docs.
tabnanny.py: Also liked this, but did a little code fiddling. I should
really rewrite this to *exploit* generators, but that's near the bottom
of my effort/benefit scale so doubt I'll get to it anytime soon (it
would be most useful as a non-trivial example of ideal use of generators;
but test_generators.py has already grown plenty of food-for-thought
examples).
inspect.py: I'm sure Ping intended for this to continue running even
under 1.5.2, so I reverted this to the last pre-gen-branch version. The
"bugfix" I checked in in-between was actually repairing a bug *introduced*
by the conversion to generators, so it's OK that the reverted version
doesn't reflect that checkin.
