allow_reuse_address! duh!

[Doug Fort]

My coworkers have been complaining about a particuraly annoying feature of 
our agent infrastructure (http://pyagent.sourceforge.net):  when you stop 
an agent, you have to wait for something like two minutes to restart, 
because the socket is busy.  

While poking around for something else, I stumbled over the 
allow_reuse_address class variable in SocketServer.  Y'all may have known 
about this for years, but it's news to me.  All you have to do is set it 
before initializing the TCPServer base class.

    SocketServer.TCPServer.allow_reuse_address = 1
    SocketServer.TCPServer.__init__(self, host, RequestHandler)
