[mod_python] ANN: Vampire 1.7 is now available.

FYI. I forgot to generate the HTML documentation and include it in the 
tar
ball when I released it. I have now updated the same tar ball to include
the HTML documentation. It is the same documentation as on the web site,
but if you are interested you can download it again.

If you had docutils installed, you could also generate the HTML 
documentation
yourself by running:

   ./scripts/rebuild.sh

in the top level source directory.
