Summary: Add a settimeout to ftplib.FTP object

Initial Comment:
It will be usefull that the FTP object of ftplib had a 
settimeout method to setup a timeout for the connection, 
because the only way of doing this is to use the 
socket.setdefaulttimeout method, and this is very 
dangerous when you are using threads. 
 
Thanks and keep up the work !

It's already in the trunk, you can do this:

>>> ftp = ftplib.FTP("localhost", timeout=30)

... or ...

>>> ftp = ftplib.FTP()
>>> ftp.connect("localhost", timeout=30)

... or ...

>>> ftp = ftplib.FTP(timeout=30)
>>> ftp.connect("localhost")

... or ...

>>> ftp = ftplib.FTP()
>>> ftp.timeout = 30
>>> ftp.connect("localhost")


:D

Thanks Collin!
