Summary: plain text enhancement for cgitb

Initial Comment:
Here's a patch to cgitb that allows you to enable plain
text output.  It adds an extra variable to the cgitb.enable
function and corresponding underlying functions.  To get
plain text invoke it as

    import cgitb
    cgitb.enable(format="text")

(actually, any value for format other than "html" will 
enable plain text output).  The default value is "html", so 
existing usage of cgitb should be unaffected.

I realize this isn't quite what you suggested, but it 
seemed to me worthwhile to keep such similar code 
together.

I'm not entirely certain I haven't fouled up the html
formatting.  It needs to be checked still.  Also still to come
is a doc change.

How about you?  As the author I think you're in the best position to
decide on the merits of the patch...

Unassigning -- I won't get to this before my vacation.

Okay, here's a correction to the first patch.  It fixes the logic
bug that corrupted the HTML output.  It also adds a little bit
of extra documentation.

Writing the documentation made me think that perhaps this
should be added to the traceback module as Guido
suggested with just a stub cgitb module that provides an 
enable function that calls the enable function in the 
traceback module with format="html".  The cgitb module
could then be deprecated.
