Summary: add urldecode() method to urllib

Initial Comment:
Adds a urldecode() method to urllib. The method does
the opposite of urlencode, turns a url-encoded string
into a list of two-tuples of name/value pairs.

It is not different than cgi.parse_qsl.  Must have missed
that module when I was looking for this functionality.  To
me it seems like urlencode and urldecode (as well as quote,
quote_plus, unquote, etc.) belong in urlparse.  Do you think
it would be valuable to include a pointer to cgi.parse_qsl
in urllib or urllparse?

How is this different from cgi.parse_sql ?  If it is not different, consider just 
having a wrapper for urldecode that calls cgi.parse_sql .

Do you think urllib is the best place for this?  What about urlparse?
