Very sorry!  I stopped uploading the files to http://www.lfw.org/python
once i started checking them in with CVS.  Kind of forgot about it, i

for the trouble.

Oh yeah, good point.  htmldoc.py actually does this if you run it by
itself at the moment.  Good to provide a single point of entry though.
