[Python-Dev] server side digest auth support

We've got http digest auth [RFC 2617] support at the client level in
the standard library, but it doesn't seem like there's server side 
support. I'm planning on adding this (for pypi) but it's not clear 
where it should go - I want to use it from a CGI, but I can see it 
being useful for people writing HTTP servers as well. Should I just
make a new module httpdigest.py?
