Actually they're on amk.ca now. People find them pretty well -- type
"regular expression" into Google and the HOWTO is the top hit; it's
the second hit for "regular expressions". I'd have no objection to
moving them to python.org hosting, but no pressing desire to do so.
My motivations:
* it would be nice to have more people scanning the edits I make.
* Python CVS would be more visible to people making translations.
(People occasionally send me e-mails asking for the LaTeX source.)

One complication: I'm writing new HOWTOs in ReST, though the older
ones are still in LaTeX. This would introduce a new requirement to
the documentation toolchain; it might be easier to put them in
nondist/ and not the main docs. But I'll defer to you; where would
you like me to create a howto/ directory?
