42181dba8e Added a --global-module-index option to specify a (possibly relative) URL
to the Global Module Index for a set of documents.  This is used to include
a reference to the global index from the per-document module indexes, so
that it is just a little easier to find.

(Someone suggested this, but I do not remember who.  Please let me know if
it was you -- thanks!)

b31d36cf01 Fix the bugfix for SF bug #127151 -- make sure we map "previous_page" to
"previous" and "next_page" to "next".  This way the proper icons are found.

445f832060 __rcmp__() description: Changed to indicate that this is no longer
supported as of Python 2.1.  We still need to
                         have an entry for this since it is reasonable
                         for users to want to understand existing code.

This closes SF bug #122715.

4e18f07613 Based on comments from Guido, do not describe bisect() and insert() as
being "for backward compatibility."  Also revert to using bisect() in the
example, since Guido thinks that is the best recommendation for typical
usage.

8e2b6b5cc7 Change documentation of 'else' clause of 'try/except' to make clear that it
doesn't get triggered by 'return', 'break' or 'continue'. If the
'try-inside-continue' patch does not get accepted before next release, the
'or continue' should be removed ;P

e22e4b2b59 Oops. The value "0 or +1" for the category argument of PyErr_Warn()
doesn't work.  Make it 0.  (Although it really *should* be 0 or +1 --
the refcount is incremented when it is raised as an exception, but not
otherwise.)
