New description:

 `sws2rst` abuses `tempfile.gettempdir()` such that it breaks if
 `os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), file_name)` happens to exist already
 (in particular, if the original `.sws` file was stored in `/tmp`).

 Also, I don't like
 {{{
     try:
         process_sws(file_name)
     except Exception as e:
         print "Unable to process file ('%s')" % file_name
         print "Error message: %s" % e
         print "Exiting."
         sys.exit(1)
 }}}
 I would much rather see a full traceback rather than a "beautified"
 useless error message.

 This strange assumption should also be removed:
 {{{
 Remark:

     The sws file(s) should be in the current directory; using an
     absolute path will result in an error."""
 }}}
