Integrating SimpleHTTPServer into asyncore

[Ng Pheng Siong]

According to Erik Max Francis  <max at alcyone.com>:

Just use Medusa's http_server. Medusa does HTTP/1.1 with persistent 
connections; SimpleHTTPServer (really BaseHTTPRequestHandler) does 
HTTP/1.0 only.

Some refactoring of Medusa and/or BaseHTTPRequestHandler to simplify
writing HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.) handlers that are portable to both 
would be nice; e.g., send_header(), end_headers() versus Medusa's
http_response object.
