patch: http auth support

[Robey Pointer]

Python's urllib2 already has HTTP auth support, but it's not hooked  
up by default.  Attached is a patch that pre-chews HTTP urls to pull  
out auth info, and jumps through the right hoops to make urllib2 use  
that for authentication.  It works against my apache server using  
"plain" auth, but the module docs imply that digest auth may work too.

Unit tests are included.  The auth hookup is done in such a way that  
it should be easy to hook up the "auth file" concept discussed here a  
few days ago.
