a09262e860 Comment out section titles for sections that have not been written yet;
there is no need to clutter a reader's life with those useless things.

Make the snippets of Python code conform to the standard style.

Suppress the "Contents" page for HTML; it is not needed for small documents
in the online environment since LaTeX2HTML generates lots of tables of links
anyway.

Various markup consistency nits.

5f52f7230c Checked in with Andrew's blessing, I leave the comments with which
this was posted to distutils-sig in.

Here is what I've hacked together over some spare time
at the weekend. I would appreciate feedback, as I've told
before I'm neither a great author, nor native english speaker,
nor anything else.

Mostly I've completed (and written) docs for bdist_wininst
(where I'm an experert for), also I've started some stuff
for the data_files and scripts option.

Should I continue in this way? Would others like to jump in?

78489a362e Do not use \verb in the Python documentation -- it makes parsing the LaTeX
sources more difficult and other tools do not always work well with it.
Since we have better markup for this case, just fix it.
