Summary: docs should include man page

Initial Comment:
Some stuff that's in the man page (e.g. the 
syntax for the -W switch) doesn't appear to
be in the HTML documentation. If it is there, 
it's _very_ well hidden away.

See, that's the problem :) It's not clear where this
might go - it's almost a "Using Python" section, which,
as far as I can see, doesn't really exist. 

This might also include stuff about the Windows GUI and
other interfaces for using python.

If a shorter-term "just get the -W stuff in" approach is
wanted, then extended the lib/module-warnings might be the
approach... but it really does seem like it needs to be
somewhere central.

I agree.

Where would you suggest the information be added?
