[Rest2web-develop] 3 problems using 0.5.0 alpha

[Andrew I. <and...@us...>]

3 problems, the first major: if my local svn checkout directory is named
"rest2web", running make_dist.py will WIPE IT OUT.  Complete deletion, no
warning.

Double-plus-ungood.  I suggest a warning, both in the README and when
make_dist.py is run.

The second problem (once I checked out the code to rest2webtrunk/) occurs
when I run "python r2w.py" to build the defaults.  It zips through a bunch,
and then blows up with this:

Processing "reference" directory.
Reading "reference/changelog.txt".
Guessing encoding. We guessed: ISO8859-1
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hit return to continue >>>

This hangs on line 69 in reference/changelog.txt, where it explains the new
uservalue syntax:
is ``<* ... *>``. For multiple lines of code it is ``<$ ... $>``.

It also hangs in reference/todo.txt, which contains the <$ ... syntax.

Looks like we need a way to escape that syntax.

Final problem, running my own site (python r2w.py my.ini -w):

rest2web version 0.5.0 alpha
Running rest2web the Site Builder.

Traceback (most recent call last):
[err]   File "/home/aji/code/dev/rest2web/r2w.py", line 186, in ?
[err]     count = main(options, config)
[err]   File "/home/aji/code/dev/rest2web/r2w.py", line 108, in main
[err]     return processor.walk()
[err]   File "/home/aji/code/dev/rest2web/rest2web/restprocessor.py", line

[err]   File "/home/aji/code/dev/rest2web/rest2web/restprocessor.py", line
1304, in buildsection
[err]     self.macros['_set_uservalues'](namespace, uservalues)
[err] KeyError: '_set_uservalues'
[err]

It fails on a standard file (vendors.txt), and I don't see any obvious
problem.  No idea on this one.
