Speed up with threads

[Michael Gilfix]

  Tim O'Maelleys' timeoutsocket module is no longer needed as of 2.3
(the current CVS). The timeoutsocket functionality has been integrated
into the existing socket library.

  >>> import socket
  >>> f = socket.socket ()
  >>> # Set a 2.3 second timeout
  >>> f.set_timeout (2.3)
  >>> # Disable timeout
  >>> f.set_timeout (None)
