"relative paths" option is enabled, 8.1 rewrites *every* path to be
relative to PCbuild (the dir containing the .wse script), even absolute
paths you type in by hand, paths to the Wise installation itself, and even
paths to the Windows directories (sheesh).  Only way to stop it is to
start a path with a variable reference, and we screwed ourselves before
by not using the predefined %_WISE_% vrbl to point to the Wise
installation.  Repaired that old, repeated and well-hidden mistake.
Also:
+ Got rid of the %_SRC_% vrbl (such paths always relative to PCBuild now).
+ Changed the %_DOC_% vrbl to prompt for the location of the unzipped
  HTML files (defaults to ..\html, cuz that's where I put them, but I
  expect I'll change that later cuz I always hated mixing the generated
  docs into the CVS tree ... Guido, if you're reading this, where did you
  unpack the docs when building a Windows installer?  Happy to oblige.).
+ Stopped the generated installer from filling up the entire screen (got
  rid of the massive blue background gradient -- new option).
+ Added the helpful app publisher and app URL registry entries that Win2K
  displays in its version of Add/Remove.

the old script without any complaints, didn't demand any manual changes,
and built a working installer from it that acts very much like the old one.
It did add a few script items, and changed one, so checking it in now
before I break everything again.

list of files to not extract docstrings from when the -D option is
given.  This isn't optimal, but I didn't want to change the semantics
of -D, and it's bad form to allow optional switch arguments.

Bumping __version__ to 1.4.

TokenEater.__init__(): Initialize __curfile to None.

__waiting(): In order to extract docstrings from the module, both the
    -D flag should be set, and the __curfile should not be named in
    the -X filename (i.e. it isn't in opts.nodocstrings).

set_filename(): Fixed a bug where once the first module docstring is
    extracted, no subsequent module docstrings will be extracted.  The
    bug was that the first extraction set __freshmodule to 0, but that
    flag was never reset back to 1.  set_filename() is always called
    when the next file is being processed, so use it to reset the
    __freshmodule flag.

main(): Add support for -X/--no-docstring.

special cases.  test_pkg works again on Windows.

d:/whatever instead of /whatever.  While I'm afraid changing isabs()
to be *consistent* with this would break lots of code, it makes
best sense for join() to do it this way.  Thanks to Alex Martelli for
pushing back on this one!

to the current Python interpreter (ie. the one used for
building/installation), even (especially!) if "/usr/bin/env" appears in
the #! line.

Rationale: installing scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" is asking for
trouble, because
  1) it might pick the wrong interpreter (not the one used to
     build/install the script)
  2) it doesn't work on all platforms (try it on IRIX 5, or on Linux
     with command-line options for python)
  3) "env" might not be in /usr/bin
