Summary: better datetime support for xmlrpclib

Initial Comment:
This patch makes it possible for an application to ask
that datetime objects be used instead of
xmlrpclib.DateTime instances.

I'm submitting this as a patch instead of checking this
in since it's a more invasive change to Fredrik's
module than my earlier change to make it accept
datetime objects as valid date/time values.

I just implemented something similar in a copy of xmlrpclib I installed on
a 2.3 system.  In addition to allowing <dateTime.iso8601> strings to
decode to datetime.datetime objects, I allowed datetime.time and
datetime.date objects as input.  The former is accomodated by
setting the date part to the current date, the latter by setting the time
to 00:00:00.

Fredrik, any comment?  I think it would improve the transparency of
Python's xmlrpc interface if datetime objects worked at both ends of
the transmission.
