Eliminate Utils.get_pattern() and in the process, completely revamp

subscription bans so as not to have to rely on BLOBS or pickles in the
database.

Also, be sure to include .rst files in both doctests and in the packaged
tarballs.  With the now awesome reST mode for Emacs, I plan to rename all .txt
doctest files to .rst.
