Fix a few things for the conversion to structured markup.

Removed texinfo special cases, since there's likely a new info

Blame it on Just.  ;-)

Fixed an index entry, added three more.

environment saves the name of the last class described, method and
member descriptions were not picking it up correctly.  Thus, many
index entries were described as "( method)" instead of "(FooClass
method)".  Multiple entries were collapsed in the index when
methods/members from multiple classes share the same name.

object.

Add "()" to method names indexed using \ttindex{}.

  - New copyright. (Open source)

  - Added new protocol for binary string pickles that
    takes out unneeded puts:

      p=Pickler()
      p.dump(x)
      p.dump(y)
      thePickle=p.getvalue()

    This has little or no impact on pickling time, but
    often reduces unpickling time and pickle size, sometimes
    significantly.

  - Changed unpickler to use internal data structure instead
    of list to reduce unpickling times by about a third.

  - Many cleanups to get rid of obfuscated error handling
    involving 'goto finally' and status variables.

  - Extensive reGuidofication. (formatting :)

  - Fixed binary floating-point pickling bug. 0.0 was not
    pickled correctly.

  - Now use binary floating point format when saving
    floats in binary mode.

  - Fixed some error message spelling error.

  - New copyright. (Open source)

  - Fixed problem in seek method.  The seek method should (and now does)
    fill with nulls when seeking past the end of the "file".

SGML will be supported soon, probably using an ESIS representation saved
in a temp file.

something that con't be done with the DOM as far as I can tell.

conversion tools currently being constructed.

Add a chapter from Jim Fulton on using Misc/Makefile.pre.in.  Still
preliminary.  The "Dynamic Loading" chapter needs to be updated (and
possibly removed, since it's no longer an issue for most (any?)
users.

the previous patch wasn't -- there was a path through the code that
bypassed all initializations.  Thanks to Just for reporting the bug!

(I see this as Python's answer to Perls ``die "message";''.)

LaTeX-based ESIS streams to be a little better structured, and generally
perform clean-up.

Preliminary.
