Not long.  Really!

I just started working on it the evening that 2.0 was released, mainly
because it wasn't until then that I could find the conversion script
hiding on my wife's computer (which was mine when Python 1.5.2 was
released and when I did the same for those docs.)  The script was
originally done by someone else. I forget who but I think his ID is in
the file somewhere...
