getopt.gnu_getopt: incorrect documentation

Hello,

The official documentation for "getopt.gnu_getopt" does not mention the version
number in which it was introduced (so I assumed it was introduced back when
getopt was added). This is wrong, though: I was informed that Python 2.2 does
not have this function, and a quick google search turned up that its addition
was mentioned in Python 2.3 release notes.

This should be fixed in the documentation.

Thanks!

Sadly this post is unlikely to change anything. Can you please email the
address shown in the documentation (do**@python.org), or by using the
Python bug tracker?

regards
Steve

Sure, I'll use e-mail. My previous attempt at using the Python bug tracker was
a failure (totally ignored after years) so I'm keen on trying some other way.

Thanks!
