Summary: http response dictionary incomplete

Initial Comment:
httplib and BaseHTTPServer each maintain their own copy 
of possible response codes.

They don't agree.

It looks like the one in httplib is a superset of the 
one in BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.responses, 
and httplib is the logical place for it, but

(1)  They map in opposite directions.

(2)  The httplib version is just a bunch of names at 
the module toplevel, with no particular grouping that 
separates them from random classes, or makes them easy 
to import as a group.

(3)  The httplib names are explicitly not exported.

That may make the cleanup more urgent.  The mapping in 
urllib2 is new with 2.5, so it should still be fine to 
remove it, or forward to httplib.

The mapping in httplib is explicitly not exported, as there 
is an __all__ which excludes them, so it *should* be 
legitimate to remove them in a new release.

BaseHTTPServer places the mapping as a class attribute on a 
public class.  Therefore, either the final location has to 
include both the message and the long message (so that 
BaseHTTPServer can import it and delegate), or this has to 
be the final location, or we can't at best get down to two.

There's also one in urllib2 :-(
