8a72a7e344 Use new \authoraddress{}; author's name and address are now separate.

06f169bb7f \rfcindex{}: Removed; no longer needed.
\file{}:  Use a sans-serif font for the filename itself.

Use the fncychap.sty package for fancy chapter headings.

Replace the \maketitle command with our own format.  This is new, but it
looks a lot better than the old one.

Use \renewcommand instead of \def when extending or overriding standard LaTeX
commands.  This makes it more LaTeX-like.

38e0df330b Some subtleties suggested by Tamito Kajiyama, including an added
\nodename macro for a section with a very underscriptive title.

8d486b1779 In the appendix, all sections were marked as subsections, and so had section
numbers "A.0.#".  Fixed.

4254363f25 &do_cmd_rfc: New function. Handles \rfc{}.
$STRIP_INDEX_TT:  New flag.  If set, the <tt>...</tt> around stuff in the index
	is dropped.  This is more O'Reilly-like.

&make_str_index_entry:  Honor $STRIP_INDEX_TT.

&make_mod_index_entry:  Honor $STRIP_INDEX_TT.

dd244a0b9e Script to fix up the Library Reference index so it's less ugly. The docstring:
"""Combine similar index entries into an entry and subentries.

For example:

  \item {foobar} (in module flotz), 23
  \item {foobar} (in module whackit), 4323

becomes

  \item {foobar}
    \subitem in module flotz, 23
    \subitem in module whackit, 4323

Note that an item which matches the format of a collapsable item but which
isn't part of a group of similar items is not modified.
"""

This results in a much more readable index, with less repitition of text;
especially for common method names.

65b32f7f74 Consistently use \POSIX{} to denote POSIX. There were at least two different
ways to do it previously (not counting module names).

c58912426e Use the new RFC macros wherever RFCs are referenced by number. No other
changes.

b16166e56f Add macros to insert RFC references much like the \manpage{} macro. Also a
macro to insert an RFC index reference.

(RFC references were formatted three different ways.)

b37a395231 \itembreak, \itemjoin: Remove unused macros.
\idxcode{}:  New macro; used to mark things that would be \code{} for entry
	into the index.  This allows easily switching things around for the
	font used in the index.  (O'Reilly seems to keep it all plain roman
	in the index.  Looks reasonable in the Python documentation as well.)

\*index{}:  Use \idxcode{} instead of {\codefont{}}.

c660233cfb Update two of the \indexsubitem values to use singular rather than plural form
of "variable": each individual variable should be identified as a single
variable and not a collection in the index.

afcd589027 Retract the statement that all functions called by Python (even method
defs) need to be declared extern "C" -- it seems to have no basis in
truth (any more?).

b6e5032d9c Added description of "D" format for PyArg_ParseTuple(), including example
use with function name provided as well.

Wrapped up PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() description and provided example
based on Geoff Philbrick's example to the mailing list.

126d840d1a Use implicit rules to perform DVI->PS and PS->PDF conversions. PDF conversion
requires "distill" from a FrameMaker installation.  ;-)  Would probably need
to be different for Windows/Mac.

b19274704f \modindex{}: New macro; index module without declaring it "built-in" or
"standard".  This is mostly for documentation of modules outside the
	standard library.
