Changes from Moshe:
...
- distutils: Windows installers are already working
- string methods: .join() seems to be the concensus, so it should probably
be docommented
- filecmp.py supersedes cmp, cmpcache and dircmp
- winreg is completely new: _winreg is an adaptation of what used to be in
win32api, and winreg is a Python implementation which adds OO syntax.
Perhaps you know that, but the text is misleading.

rewrite_descriptor(): Fixup conversion of arguments (simpler).
...
join_adjacent_elements(): Hack to merge adjacent instances of
<option>; the source \programopt with GNU-style long options
created problems with LaTeX2HTML; this removes the evil
workaround, which should never be necessary from structured
documents(!).

Don't rename \var to <varname>; DocBook is too verbose here.
...
Do adopt DocBook's <command>, <option>, <envar> names for \program,
\programopt, \envvar.
Add \filenq --> <filename quote="no"> (it has to go somewhere, at
least for now).

When generating the top-level index to the documents, make sure some
...
oddball things from the LaTeX get translated to rational values. This
is mostly to keep things from looking broken in a development tree
when they're not.
