Summary: urllib.urlparse has inverse in cgi module

Initial Comment:
The fact that urllib.urlparse has its inverse in the 
cgi module is not mentioned in the urllib docs. 
 
The patch adds a link to the cgi module, pointing out 
that the cgi.parse_qs and cgi.parse_qsl functions 
are the inverse of urllib.urlparse (if you ignore the 
precise types involved -- urllib.urlparse is many-to-one 
in that respect, so there isn't really a proper inverse 
function).

Looking at the patch, I see you mean the urllib.urlencode()
function.
I've commited a modified version of your patch and added a
reference to urllib.urlencode() from cgi.parse_qsl().

Fixed for Python 2.2.3, 2.3:

Doc/lib/libcgi.tex 1.39, 1.35.4.4
Doc/lib/liburllib.tex 1.48, 1.40.8.3
