b5903ac9fb Another new utility: getpass() prompts for a password, with echo off.
Also contains getuser(), which returns the username (not prompting though).
These work on Unix and Windows!

2cb824cbf9 Don't use \samp when \code is better.
Consistently use ' instead of ":  this conforms to my unofficial stance that
constants should be presented using the repr() whenever it makes sense.  This
isn't because I think repr() is the greatest thing since spam, just that it's
an easy to adopt consistency standard.  (It also holds no new surprises!)

45c634ecae Work around a small (& annoying) limitation of the latex2html support for
\seemodule.  This is far easier than figuring out the real problem, but it
works.

8a254b5967 Removed misleading comment about GNU software. This module and the zlib
library have no relationship with GNU software other than implementing some of
the same algorithms and file format.  (The zlib module is more general.)

253328104f Many markup changes (to \regexp, mostly)
Clarified text on 8-bit cleanness, complemented sets like [^5], and {m,n}
  qualifier.

20ca9171c1 Don't assume that \version expands to the 3-character major.minor number; it
is the full release version name ("1.5.1beta1", for instance).

Add section for previously documented obsolete modules.  Includes ni, rand,
and soundex.

29e5f5d81f When getcwd() doesn't exist or raises an exception, don't fail but
fall back to using os.curdir instead; if it is fine, don't use
os.curdir at all.

058068d992 Nearly a complete re-write.
Basically, it now works and produces a nice-looking HTML index.

Shows some promise for extensibility, but still young.  Needs useful comments.

166abbabf9 Remove option to strip out <tt>...</tt> from index entry text; this is now
left to the buildindex.py script.

Change the field separator used in the index.dat file so utilities like grep
are useful on these files; they can't typically handle NUL bytes.

Protect index entries for environment variables from being handled as
case-insensitive by buildindex.py.

3f3c25fc03 Set flag to remove <tt>...</tt> markup from the index entries; it just ends up
looking really bad in popular browsers, mostly due to vertical size differences
between the roman and monospaced fonts.

2764dd33cf Separate sections on anydbm and dumbdbm.
This is the last separation; each module now gets its own section.  This will
be useful in performing conversions.

c708605f4f Added a reference to the discussion in Knuth's "Sorting and Searching", and
noted that the original algorithm produces 4-character results rather than
the 6-character results provided by this module.
