Broken link in documentation

[Bob Kline]

One of the instructions in section 3.1 ("A Cookbook Approach")  of
Guido's "Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter" says 

     "Get David Ascher's compile.py script from
     http://starship.python.net/crew/da/compile/."

but that link is broken.

My original intention was to scout around with Google, find where it
had been moved to, and submit a patch for the docs.  What I found
instead were old copies, old context diffs, and inconclusive threads
along these lines:

     "Does anyone have a copy of David Ascher's compile.py from his
     starship pages?  The links there appear to be broken, and David
     appearantly hasn't been able to find time to look for a copy, or
     can't find it (I've sent him another mail about it in case it has
     turned up), and documentation users are asking about it.  (There's
     a link from the extending & embedding manual.)

     "If anyone has a copy, perhaps I could find provide a temporary
     location for it and revise the link in the online documentation to
     point there, as a stop-gap measure." [1]

Is this as much in limbo as it appears to have been last summer?
