Hi all,

below is the changelog for today's changes (plus one or two others that I
sprinkled in over the last few weeks...).

Highlights:

 - the 'argparse' extension is now actually useful, e.g. you can pass
   arguments in like so:

      twill-sh script1 script2 -- arg1 arg2

   and then retrieve arg1 and arg2 from within scripts.

 - added an extension to execute a script once for each row in a 
   comma-separated value file, so that you can iterate over premade
   data sets.

 - 'id' attributes in forms/form fields are now useful.

These changes are available in the usual places: as eggs, e.g. 0.8.5a5
on issola,

   easy_install -f http://issola.caltech.edu/~t/dist/

and as a .tar.gz at

   http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/twill-latest.tar.gz

cheers,
