Here are some changes to the C API docs. The memory examples & API have
been updated because one malloc family is gone (Py_Malloc).
You'll see other small additions to the "building new types" section

Update processing of module synopsis tables (found at the beginning of
most chapters of the library reference) to reflect changes in the

\file is not allowed in section titles -- converting to PDF fails due to

weird macro-expansion issues. A better solution may be available in the

Fix PDF generation.

The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
