Summary: Remote execution patch for IDLE

Initial Comment:
This is the code I have for the remote execution
patch.  (Remote execution must be enabled with an
explicit command line argument -r.)

Caveats:

- undocumented
- slow
- security issue: the subprocess should not be the
server but the client, to prevent a hacker from gaining
access

This should apply cleanly against IDLE as currently
checked into the Python CVS tree.

I don't want to check this in yet because of the
security issue, and I don't have time to work on it. I
hope the idlefork project will pick this up though and
address the issues above.
