[Python-Dev] Great Renaming - Straw Man 0.2

[Moshe Zadka]

Here's a second version of the straw man proposal for the reorganization
of modules in packages. Note that I'm treating it as a strictly 1.7
proposal, so I don't care a "lot" about backwards compatiblity.

I'm down to 4 unhandled modules, which means that if no one objects (and
I'm sure someone will <wink>), this can be a plan of action. So get your
objections ready guys!
