Summary: faqwiz.py could do email obfuscation

Initial Comment:
Faqwiz.py could obfuscate emails very easily, simply by
replacing @ by some other symbol in it's output. I've
homecooked a solution that basically involves:

adding to faqconf.py:

 # Obfuscate @ symbol as

 OBFUSCATE="-at-"

and changing interpolate() in faqwiz.py:

 def _interpolate(format, args, kw):
    try:
        quote = kw['_quote']
    except KeyError:
        quote = 1 
    d = (kw,) + args + (faqconf.__dict__,)
    m = MagicDict(d, quote)
    return string.replace(format % m, '@', OBFUSCATE)

This isn't my favourite solution, though, but since I
find the code a bit hard to follow, it suffices for
now. I'm willing to work a bit more on this if it
interests people.
