[Python-Dev] Where to put the interrupt module?

IDLEfork, now in Lib/idlelib, uses a new C extension, the 'interrupt'
module.  This is a truly minimal, and generally useful, module to
provide a way to cause a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread from a
secondary thread.  I propose to move this to Modules, and make it a
toplevel module.  This is the easiest thing in order to get it
compiled and built for various platforms.

Any problems?
