I'm not sure right now why we deleted it.  There is quite a lot of code
in pep2html.py, and pep.py is much shorter.  David, any idea?  We didn't
delete pep2html.py while it should have been pep.py, did we?

I don't see much point in having a copy of Docutils in the Python CVS.
Why not just add a note that Docutils is required to process the pep
files?
