cfb30e23d1 build(): Use self.builddir, not self.doc when copying the icons, so
they'll end up in the right directory when --dir is used.

c0e066a7b8 When the HTML output dir is specified using --dir=~/foo, the tilde
needs to be expanded by mkhowto, since the shell won't touch it except
at the start of the complete argument.

15a159c231 Change the default path to icons so that "mkhowto" does the "right thing" by
default when used for 3rd-party docs.  This requires the standard Python docs
to specify a location, but they are a bit of a special case in sharing one set
of icons among several documents.

fcc31b44d2 Split the long email package examples into separate files and use
\verbatiminput instead of the verbatim environment -- this does the "right
thing" regarding page breaks in long examples for the typeset formats, and
has nice benefits for the HTML version as well.

c1ddc505d9 Minor revision to the "\\" patch, including updating the docs a little to
accomodate the fact that they are more general now that they are for the
os.path module and not just posixpath.

This and the previous patch should be combined and applied to the 2.2-maint
branch.

73e8ebfc5a Revise text about the level of DOM support, and provide pointers to

Modify the markup in a few places to avoid wrapping lines in bad
places, and just general cleanliness.
