35c09f2e51 Revise the description of when functions retrieved from class instances 
are and are not turned into bound methods; some confusion was noted by
Andrew Dalke.

In particular, it has to be noted that functions located on the class
instance are not turned into any sort of method, only those which are
found via the underlying class.

1bbe32982d Minor wording tweaks. 
Kludged the extra-wide table that summarizes the manifest template language
  (works with LaTeX, but is an *evil* kludge and could well break LaTeX2HTML
  or similar...).

b80a777859 Added documentation for gettempprefix().

better chance of being understood, noting that the requirement to reset
template after os.fork() disappeared in 1.5.2.

when arguments are missing from search() and uid().

f1dc5fa2c8 Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs are 
now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

c9a5f343bc The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention 
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++).  Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.
