util: fix default termwidth() under Windows
sys.stdout.write('-'*80 + '\n')
or
sys.stdout.write('-'*80 + '\r')
do not work on Windows as they do on unix. On a 80 columns Windows console, the
extra CR or LF are interpreted as if belonging to the next line, so the first
command displays 2 lines (only one on unix) and the second one leave the line
visible and move back to the following line. To avoid this, we sacrifice one
column under Windows.

You'll need to install Docutils: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
