[Python-Dev] Great Renaming - Straw Man 0.2

[Ka-Ping Yee]

Okay, here's another shot at it.  Notice a few things:

    - no text.mime package
    - encoders moved to text.encode
    - Unix stuff moved to unix package (no file.lowlevel, file.terminal)
    - aifc moved to bin.sound package
    - struct moved to bin package
    - locale moved to math package
    - linecache moved to interp package
    - data-type stuff moved to data package
    - modules in internal package moved to live with their friends

Modules that are deprecated or not really intended to be imported
are listed in parentheses (to give a better idea of the "real"
size of each package).  cStringIO and cPickle are parenthesized
in hopeful anticipation of agreement on my last message...
