[IronPython] urllib.urlretrieve with IronPython 2a8

[Dino Viehland]

This is a great analysis - based upon this I think it'll be pretty easy to fix this.  I'll take a look at it tomorrow and respond back.

It is and it will.  CPython basically dups the socket handle when you
call makefile, while IronPython does not.  That's the cause of this
bug.

By the way, the docstring for the IronPython socket class claims that
makefile isn't implemented.  This is apparently only half-true. :P
