      htmllib cannot be removed from 3.0 until its use is removed from pydoc.

      This issue is at least partially dependent on issue bpo-1883 (adapting pydoc
      to new doc system), in that it's a little awkward to test pydoc before
      bpo-1883 is complete.

      I'd be happy to see both htmllib and pydoc be removed; documentation
      tools do quite well as separate applications. Not as convenient for
      interactive use, but easy enough to hook in via PYTHONSTARTUP.

      I have no objections, but would python-3000 go for this?
