Summary: Missing socketpair() function.

Initial Comment:
Coming from a C++ background, I have noticed the 
absence of a socketpair() function in the socket module.

I have implemented a couple of workarounds (see 
attached sockpair2.py), which I use a lot.

But there are security and portability problems lurking.

How about a nice shiny new socketpair() call in 
socketmodule?

Thanks, Graham.

Good idea. Would you like to work on a patch? Notice that
this would involve autoconf machinery, since I doubt that
socketpair is universally available.
