Summary: heapq: A way to change the compare function

Initial Comment:
It'd be nice if heapq could use a custom compare function.
This way the user won't need to write a class with <=
method.

I've added set_cmp(cmp=None) for setting the
comparision function. Using cmp and not expliclty <=
makes later changes in implementation easier.

Attached are the diffs.

BTW: I know in CVS heapq is a C module now, don't have
the  time to change my patch...

Miki
