[stdlib-sig] The solution for urllib and the url package

[Brett Cannon]

OK, here is the stuff that is not disputed:

 urllib2 -> url.request
 urlparse -> url.parse
 urllib quoting-related functions -> url.parse

The thing up for debate is the rest of urllib. I have decided MAL can
have what he wants and have URLOpener and FancyURLOpener put in
url.request if the documentation for both classes is completely
updated to expose the proper API for both classes for 2.6. May 1st is
the deadline to get this to happen.

If this does not occur then the non-quoting code gets made external
for people download and use if they want but is not kept in the
stdlib.
