I've been adding features lately. Latest snapshots available in 90 minutes
from:

    http://docstring.sourceforge.net/dps-snapshot.tgz
    http://structuredtext.sourceforge.net/rst-snapshot.tgz

New:

- A "Visitor" pattern to the doctree (dps/nodes.py).
- Functional "Reader" (dps/readers/standalone.py; thanks Ueli!).
- Minimal "Writer" (dps/writers/pprint.py).
- Reworked system_warning/Reporter mechanism with log4j influence.
- A bunch of transforms (dps/transforms/).

I'd like to add a bit more functionality (such as access from
tools/quicktest.py or some other front-end, plus a simple HTML writer) and
update the PEPs, then I'll make and announce new releases (v0.4 of each).
Following this, I'll merge the parser into the DPS project; there's too much
duplication in the test code now. The project will be renamed to "docutils"
as well.
