This is probably part of the reason why its embedded in the backends,
no install issues.

Why not put it in the same place as the asciidoc config, thats a
prefix that asciidoc knows and you should be able to add it in front
of the filename to make it an absolute pathname.

I don't recommend it be added to the asciidoc directory on install as
some distros are a bit funny about putting Python scripts in system
binary directories.

I would have said don't worry about Python 2.6, if you look at the
Travis results you will see that current asciidoc apparently contains
syntax (in a filter) that breaks 2.6.  My understanding was that
support for old versions of Python 2 were for Jython, but it now
supports 2.7 so it should be ok.

I can't test, but if it passes the regression tests thats a good start.

When you think its ready we should make a repository for it under the
asciidoc organisation so it can get wider visibility and be available
for distros to package.

Well done.
