Summary: SimpleHTTPServer directory-indexing "bug" fix

Initial Comment:
The SimpleHTTPServer.py module, when presented with a
URL of the form:

      http://some.site.com/directory

should redirect the browser to:

      http://some.site.com/directory/

This is evidently a standard behavior of major
webservers (Apache and IIS at least).  SimpleHTTPServer
does not do this, but fortunately it is simple to
implement (patch attached, naturally).

I am providing a fix for 2.2 but this problem appears
to be in earlier versions, and is also in 2.3.  This
patch appears to work fine for 2.3.
