Will do.  Is there anything else in Tools/ or Lib/ that could be
usefully installed, such as tabnanny or whatever?  I can't think of
anything that would be really burningly important, so I'll just take
care of pydoc.  

Re: IDLE: Martin already contributed a Tools/idle/setup.py, but I'm
not sure how to trigger it recursively.  Perhaps a configure option
--install-idle, which controls an idleinstall target in the Makefile.
Making it only install if Tkinter is compiled seems icky; I don't see
how to do that cleanly.  Martin, any suggestions?
