	sorry that i'm delayed about documentation (specificaly socket module).
	i have no TeX environment now (i had before) and having trouble
	checking if i'm typesetting right.  do you mind if i send you just
	plaintext?

	as for Lib/*.y changes, there shouldn't be much changes unless you have
	faulty IPv6 connectivity - the code will try to connect to IPv6
	destination then IPv4 against FQDN hostnames, so if IPv6 connectivity
	is faulty you will see more delays.

	with Lib/ftp.py people is most likely to see something is happening
	as it will try protocol-independent FTP commands (EPSV/EPRT) first.

	anyway... if possible drop me notes.  i don't check SF too frequently
	(i cannot adapt to the SF UI).  i'll subscribe to python-dev.
