+Command-line and common processing for Docutils front-end tools.
+
+Exports the following classes:
+
+* `OptionParser`: Standard Docutils command-line processing.
+* `Option`: Customized version of `optparse.Option`; validation support.
+* `Values`: Runtime settings; objects are simple structs
+  (``object.attribute``).  Supports cumulative list settings (attributes).
+* `ConfigParser`: Standard Docutils config file processing.
+
+Also exports the following functions:
+
+* Option callbacks: `store_multiple`, `read_config_file`.
+* Setting validators: `validate_encoding`,
+  `validate_encoding_error_handler`,
+  `validate_encoding_and_error_handler`, `validate_boolean`,
+  `validate_threshold`, `validate_colon_separated_string_list`,
+  `validate_dependency_file`.
+* `make_paths_absolute`.
