do_cmd_setshortversion():  Implementation for new markup.

do_env_funcdesc(),
do_env_funcdescni(),
do_cmd_funcline(),
do_cmd_funclineni(),
handle_classlike_descriptor(),
do_env_methoddesc(),
do_end_methoddescni(),
do_cmd_methodline(),

The convert_args() helper and related changes fix the generation of HTML
for the \optional markup, so that bogus </var>...<var> is not generated.

Another suggestion: Change the print statement in the _test()
driver to show two more date characters (probably the length
has increased due to the recent Y2K hype ;). Now it shows the
complete date, including the seconds -- at least for me. (I've
also made the sender field left justified, in case it is ever
