5afb5e5c9c Look to the future: bump the version number.
Do more to ensure we don't do any more formatting than we need to.
Use separate targets for the distribution packages for paper-based and
non-paper-based formats; this avoids some extra packaging when a complete
distribution is being built with both paper sizes.

01815526e0 Add a more substantial example startup file for the interactive shell;
sample startup script provided by Itamar Shtull-Trauring.

This closes SF patch #410890.

Add some logical markup where it was missing.

1ca78b6b70 Change the command lines to use a similar "phrasing" to that used in the
other documentation makefiles.  This is probably not sufficient to run
the conversion on Windows, but goes at least part way.

72182027a8 "Make small changes, but carry a big diff."
Minor local consistency adjustments.
A couple of small tweaks to the setdlopenflags() description.
For setprofile() and settrace(), convert some references to become
hyperlinks in the HTML version.

f0473d511b Patch #412229: Add functions sys.getdlopenflags and sys.setdlopenflags.

68db730324 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.

1385a57b85 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.

Fred Drake
16649a803b 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.

3cae66bdbc 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.

aebbca3b61 Job.__init__(): Only create the builddir directory if it will be used (by
building the HTML or text documentation).  There is no need to create
    it for other formats.

Job.build_html():  The builddir parameter is always passed in, so it need
    not be optional.

95400a28e4 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().
