tccpage.py: Dynamic generation of TCC-style web pages

The implementation of tccpage.py is included here in “literate programming” style. For information on the tool used for code generation, see A source extractor for lightweight literate programming.

The actual code starts with the conventional Python documentation string:

"""tccpage.py: For dynamic generaton of web pages in standard TCC style.
