f4cbada3f9 Correct documentation for <file>.read(); Python makes a serious
best-effort to return 'size' bytes.  Point out that this may mean
multiple fread() calls.  Reported by Anders Hammarquist
<iko@iko.pp.se> via the Debian crew.

5fc9c869dd SIGTERM is no longer caught to call sys.exitfunc.

9466b9a10d Add some (commented out) macros to change the page size to the size of
typical published manuals, so people can more easily see what they're
really asking for.  ;-)

Revise the verbatim environment: simple implementation, but more
compatible if a document also add \usepackage{verbatim} at the
beginning.

Declare \modindex, \bimodindex, \exmodindex, and \stmodindex
obsolete.  These still work just fine, but \declaremodule should be
used instead.  The obsolete macros will print a warning on standard
out.
