Patch attached for trunk based on 2.6.2 docs.  I only included what felt
like the essential parts of the module description.

David, should the marshal.version be explained as it is present in the docs?

marshal.version

    Indicates the format that the module uses. Version 0 is the
historical format, version 1 (added in Python 2.4) shares interned
strings and version 2 (added in Python 2.5) uses a binary format for
floating point numbers. The current version is 2.

Otherwise, the patch is fine and can be applied. Thank you.

I added 'variables' and 'functions' section to module docstring parallel
to the way 'time' does it, and documented 'version' there.

Checked in in r72597, r72598, and in r72599, r72600.
