f8316638af Rob W. W. Hooft's spelling fixes for the Library Reference. I hope 
SourceForge doesn't choke on this batch :-)

I'm not entirely sure this is 100% correct. The patch changes an
\index{persistency} to \index{presistence}, and I don't know what \index{}
does. But it seems to do so persi--er, consistently, so I hope it isn't a
problem.

acab3d61e9 Change the table in the pyexpat.errors module to a series of datadesc 
elements (since the table was pretty screwed up); this is how it is done
elsewhere in the manual.

I could use some help creating descriptions of the specific error
identifiers (input conditions that lead to each error, etc.).

417c489def Give ConfigParser the capability to set as well as read options, and to write 
a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call.  Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.

This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed.  Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.

I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.

29fa30ea6b Correct a markup nit that caused a space to be dropped from the HTML 
version (actually a LaTeX2HTML bug), and clarified a sentence in the
mktime() description based entirely on comments from Grant Griffin

3c62d9e656 Several small changes, mostly to the markup, to improve consistency and 
internal hyperlinking.  Move some things around, also for consistency
with other modules ("See also" stuff tends to live at the \section level,
before sub-sections, etc.).

c05cbb0527 Wrapped some long lines. 
Cleaned up the table of error constants defined in pyexpat.errors; an
extra pair of braces had pretty much destroyed the table!  (Not sure why.)
Moved the pyexpat.errors module documentation into a \section with the
proper headers for a module.

52dc76c81f Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>: 
This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature.  Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.

[Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]
