I went to write a test that would trigger something if it was run on 3.3.0, and had to look in the source code to figure out what the hexversion for that would be.  I think the hexversion algorithm should be documented in its sys entry.

Thanks!  I tidied up the ReST formatting a bit and changed the bit numbering to the more standard left to right order (standard for bit fields...I realize hexversion is a number, but conceptually one deals with it as a bit field).
