Summary: make test_urllib2 work on Windows

Initial Comment:
This fixes HandlerTests.test_file() on Windows.  Hope it 
works -- I don't have 2.4 CVS on Windows. 
 
Also cleaned up testing of generated Last-Modified 
header. 
 
Still needs testing on Mac. 
 
I had to introduce a sanepathname2url() to replace 
urllib.pathname2url().  I don't understand why 
urllib.pathname2url() behaves as it does (returning a path 
starting with three slashes /// instead of one) -- seems 
wrong according to RFC 1738.  Should it be fixed in 
urllib?
