Some webservers support gzipping things before sending
them, this patch adds transparrent support for this in
urllib2 (documentation http://www.http-compression.com/)

This patach *requires* hash patch 914340 as a
prerequirement as this enabels stream support in the
gzip libary..

Looks good.

This needs tests and docs.  As a new feature, this could not be released until Python 2.6.

It would be nice to have support for managing content negotiation in general, but that wish isn't an obstacle to this patch.
