Import statements within markdown have been improved so that third party
libraries can embed the markdown library if they desire (licencing permitting).
+Added support for Python's `-m` command line option. You can run the markdown
+package as a command line script. Do `python -m markdown [options] [args]`.
+Note that this is only fully supported in Python 2.7+. Python 2.5 & 2.6
+require you to call the module directly (`markdown.__main__`) rather than
+the package (`markdown`). This does not work in Python 2.4.
+
The commandline script has been renamed to `markdown_py` which avoids all the
various problems we had with previous names. Also improved the commandline
script to accept input on stdin.
