[ANN] pydocgen 0.1 - a windows alternative to pydoc

pydocgen.py generates a HTMLHelp file from the docstrings of the
python standard library, offering full-text search and a nice index.
As such, it is an alternative to pydoc, which seems to me to be broken
(at least on my python22 system it fails when asked to scan all files
in /lib recursively.) Note that pydocgen also has problems with some
files in the PSL - they simply cannot be imported standalone. 

Some might also find the "htmlhelpgen.py" source helpful, for
generating HTMLHelp files from a python program. "htmlhelptest.py"
shows you how to use those classes from your own code.
