HISTORY
----------

2.0.1. Included the licence in the source code too; fixed a versioning
     issue by adding the version number to the zip file and fixing
     the link to it on the web page, thanks to Philip Jenvey (17/02/2007)
2.0. Rewritten and simplified the implementation; broken compatibility
     with previous versions (see README.txt); added the utility function
     'update_wrapper' instead of 'newfunc' (13/01/2007)
1.1. 'decorator' instances now have attributes __name__, __doc__,
     __module__ and __dict__ coming from the associated caller function; 
     included the licence into the documentation (02/12/2006)
1.0. Added LICENCE.txt; added a setuptools-friendly setup.py script 
     contributed by Luke Arno (10/08/2006);

0.7. Renamed 'copyfunc' into 'newfunc' and added the ability to copy

     set the '__module__' attribute too, with the intent of improving 
     error messages; updated the documentation (10/05/2006)

     even for Python 2.3 (but the signature-preserving feature is
     lost) (20/12/2005)
