Summary: Adds an XML-RPC server module

Initial Comment:
This module adds XML-RPC server functionality in a 
manner similar to the way SimpleHTTPServer adds HTTP 
server functionality.

The pimary motivation for creating this module is that 
creating XML-RPC servers in Python is more difficult 
that it should be and is considerably more difficult 
in Python than it is in other languages (http://xmlrpc-
c.sourceforge.net/xmlrpc-howto/xmlrpc-howto.html).

Here are the design motivations:
1. subclassing an XML-RPC or HTTP class should not be 
needed for simple servers
2. it should be designed in such a way that the code 
could be refactored to use a (hypothetical) 
BaseXMLRPCServer module without breaking backwards 
compatibility
3. it should behave in a similar manner to other 
Python web modules i.e. SimpleHTTPServer and soaplib
