it no longer appears to be needed.

position in new_buffersize(); the correct function to use is ftell().
Thanks to Ben Jackson.

instead of 'locals' I was passing 'lock_import' to import_module_ex().

time can be in PyImport_ImportModuleEx().  Recursive calls from the
same thread are okay.

Potential problems:

- The lock should really be part of the interpreter state rather than
global, but that would require modifying more files, and I first want
to figure out whether this works at all.

- One could argue that the lock should be per module -- however that
would be complicated to implement.  We would have to have a linked
list of locks per module name, *or* invent a new object type to
represent a lock, so we can store the locks in the module or in a
separate dictionary.  Both seem unwarranted.  The one situation where
this can cause problems is when loading a module takes a long time,
e.g. when the module's initialization code interacts with the user --
during that time, no other threads can run.  I say, "too bad."

instead of dumping core.

Also got rid of some inconsistent change log comments near the top.

now requires LaTeX2HTML 98.1p1 or newer (& and is still in progress).

This means that doing things to change the formatting of the manuals (at the
"normal user" level, like A4 paper), can happen in just one place, rather
than in each document file.

manipulation routines can be used on non-Mac platforms (e.g. to
manipulate pathnames in a Mac specific archive).

Changed sample module creation of an exception to use PyErr_NewException().

Logical markup.

not checked in, so i'm doing it.

doesn't cause a traceback.

&replace_verbatim_hook:  Clean up a little, avoid long lines.

(Basically, the error is cleared...  Like almost everywhere else...)

Attempt to get \setindexsubitem{} handled at the right time under LaTeX2HTML
98.1; should still be fine under 97.1*.

Don't refer to them from the fromfile() and tofile() methods.

Support modified verbatim for both LaTeX2HTML 96.1* and 98.1.

Make table column headers bold.

Markup corrected, logical markup.

set up the indexsubitem to "(in module #1)" automatically.  This reduces the
amount of markup needed in the module docs and, more importantly, makes it
o.k. to leave out in simple sections.  \setindexsubitem{} can still be used
to change or reset it.
