which is not (at least yet) applicable.  also added a note about the

so that *not* using it must be specified explicitely

in load()

which will be used for the remaining work in trac983.

the only exposed interface is load() right now.
also made overall document cleanup/enhancements.

generating pydoc in the python API implementation.

must be specified explicitly.

in Makefile.am for python tests.

in the correct place.  also added missing files to Makefile.am to fix
distcheck failures.
