Assigning to Raymond for practice in finding the Submit

Attached is a patch to fix the build of the info docs. The 
change to libre.tex maybe controversial, as it works around
a problem in py2texi.el.

The latest version is 1.9.
Fred made changes to make it build again.

Which version? py2texi.el is at 1.3 and unchanged the last
six months.

Several parts of the patch are now committed, but not
everything.  In particular, the changes to Doc/lib/libre.tex
have not been committed, pending time for me to take a
closer look.

Current status:

- "Python Library Reference" doesn't format, and I don't
think this is the libre.tex problem.  I get the message
"Args out of range: 406147, 406149".  I don't know what this
refers to.

- "Documenting Python" doesn't convert because of a couple
of highly specialized macros that are defined locally within
other macros with really short names.  I don't really want
to support them directly since they have such short names
("p" and "op"), though I did cave for the HTML conversion.

- "Installing Python Modules" doesn't convert because it
uses a specialized macro defined inline in the document
("installscheme"), but I don't really want to replace that
in the document with the standard table markup.

- "What's New in Python 2.X" is now built; any verision back
to whatsnew21.tex can be formatted; the 2.0.x version isn't
worth any work to make it format at this point.  Only the
current version is formatted by default; alternate versions
can be specified using the WHATSNEW make variable.

I'm not sure why the comments on this report discuss the
info documentation when the original report is clearly about
the HTML documentation.

As far as I can tell, the HTML is currently being generated
without errors.  If I've missed something, please open a new
report with pertinent information.
