Some volunteer needs to document the optparse module. 
The text files from optik may supply a good source for
material for the LaTeX version of the docs.

I'm working on this. I'll probably mostly use the text files in 
the Optik package, but I'll add a true reference section, based 
on the output of pydoc.help(optparse). I'll have to write some 
more docstrings into the optparse module to make this 
useful, however.

Please note that I'm new to LaTeX, so it may take some time 
for me to learn it and then convert the text files.

Fred, I tested the patch, the doc builds ok with it.  It
looked very extensive, but I briefly looked it over.  Would
you like me to check it in?

BTW, do the datetime docs build for you?  They don't for me.

Accepted the patch, with instructions for Neal to proceed
with checkin.

The datetime docs grew a markup error since I'd last
formatted them myself; now fixed.
