Summary: Allow specifying headers for MIME parts

Initial Comment:
The patch is needed to allow specification e.g. of content-transfer-encoding. I couldn't find a way with the existing infrastructure to do that.

Thanks for the comment Bjorn.  The module has also been removed from
py3k.

Jorg, you might want to consider using the email package.  I'm not sure if
the functionality is in there, but if not, that's where the patch should
come from.  Thanks for your effort.

The MimeWriter module is deprecated since 2.3, so no point in adding new
functionality to it, is there?

Thanks for contributing! While I can't speak to whether this patch is a
good idea, here are some things you need to fix:

1) Your patch introduces incorrect indentation at line 136 and 137 of
Lib/MimeWriter.py (run your updated MimeWriter.py with "python -tt").

2) The patch lacks test cases (add them to Lib/test/test_MimeWriter.py)
and documentation (update Doc/lib/libmimewriter.tex).
