I've attached the patch for the new options.  The patched pyste.py
file also has updated documentation on the available options.  Take a
look at my changes and if you think its OK check it in.  The
SingleCodeUnit.py changes just one line.  I explicity call close since
I don't really trust/know when the object will actually be deleted.
Maybe I'm paranoid but I think its better safe than sorry.

Oh, all the Pyste docs are generated from that text file?  Cool!  I'll
add documentation to it.  I was thinking of adding a few things:

 * installation via distutils (I think its worth documenting)
 * update the options page (that is if you think my patch is OK).
 * There is a small section in the Wrapper docs where I'd like to
   clarify a point.
 * Mention that you can import another Python file in the same
   directory and use that.  I don't quite know where this would go but
   I guess the wrapper section is good enough.

However its going to take me a little while to add this.  Is it OK if
I get to this by the weekend (or if lucky earlier)?

Actually, I think it would be great if we could also look at the
following features:

  1. Can we specify exclude/rename function names in greater detail.
     Currently its impossible to selectively exclude one particular
     overloaded function.

  2. The current --multiple option generates one file per interface
     file.  I guess that is OK but maybe it would be useful to
     optionally specify the output filename in the interface.  I think
     this should be a low priority to do item (if at all it is
     useful).


cheers,
