Summary: textwrap.dedent, inspect.getdoc-ish

Initial Comment:
Ability to remove indentation from multiline strings
(often triple-quoted). Differs from inspect.getdoc by
not handling the first line in special manner (often a
sensible approach for non-docstring multiline strings)
- which should make this function more general
(symmetric 'indent' also possible), and more fitting
for the textwrap module.

Implementation is for the most parts familiar from
inspect.getdoc, though I used sring methods instead of
the module 'string'.

The module 'textwrap' and the function name 'dedent'
were suggested on python-dev a while back (by MAL, IIRC).

Ok, I've added a patch for libtextwrap.tex. You might want
to take a look at it for errors, this was my first time
writing latex - I just followed the style used elsewhere in
the file. Writing the test case might be handled by you in a
more time-efficient manner, though I can also take a look at
it once I get that linux partition going on my new home
machine...

Yes, I'll look into the patches for Doc and test - it just might 
take a short while (have to access anon cvs at work) - few 
weeks or so.

Looks fine to me.  Can you provide a patch for 
Doc/lib/libtextwrap.tex as well?  A patch to 
Lib/test/test_textwrap.py would be nice too, but I can take care 
of that if you prefer.

(Any other diffs should just be uploaded to this patch report.)
