usability issues (Windows) #18

Hi, there. Here are some small usability issues with db2epub.py ...especially 
for windows users. 

first, with the latest version, if you run  db2epub.py, it still shows the 
version as 1.02 even though the utility can use xincludes. Liz told me that 
1.03 didn't do this, but 1.04 did support xincludes). but running the -version 
switch still produces 1.02. 

Second, in settings.py I could not set an epubcheck location nor could I set 
the DOCBOOK_XSL  variable. Assuming that these things actually work, I assume 
that the problem is that I'm not using the right conventions for setting a path 
or whether I should give the path for the directory or the file itself.  It 
would be nice if you provided at least one example of a Windows path per 
settings.py file. 

I've noticed that there are 3 different settings.py files, two of which are 
identical. Which would should I be trying to add my settings to? 

docbook2epub\epubtools\epubtools
docbook2epub\epubtools\build\lib\epubtools

Third, I'm unclear what DOCBOOK_XSL variable is for. Is it the default xsl if 
none is specified on the command line? 

(I'm on 64 bit Vista).
