Summary: sendmsg operation for unix sockets
Initial Comment:
The socket module doesn't seem to support the sendmsg
operation for AF_UNIX sockets, at least in Python 2.2.2
under Linux. This is needed to send ancillary messages
to sockets. Those in turn allow a process to see the
user id of its peer, allows sending file descriptors to
other processes (needed for anything like User Mode
Linux so that non-root processes can open privileged
ports), and so forth.
