This is getting out of hand. After my initial faq.py checkin on Friday, several
people have had to check in fixes and we now have an extra dependency on not one
program but a choice of three.
I've added html2text from http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/html2text/ to the tools
directory. Hopefully we can use it to generate the FAQ and docbook targets
without unnecessary complexity.
