Jeremy reminded me that my new httplib.py is still pending integration.
There are two possibilities:

1) My httplib.py uses a new name, or goes into a "net" package. We check
   it in today, and I follow up with patches to fold in post-1.5.2
   compatibility items (such as the SSL stuff).

2) httplib.py will remain in the same place, so the compat changes must
   happen first.

In both cases, I will also need to follow up with test and doc.

IMO, we go with "net.httplib" and check it in today.

Cheers,
