Alright, attaching a patch that reworks urlretrieve to use urlopen internal to urllib.request.  

1. I dropped the local caching as it isn't turned on by default anyway (and isn't really documented).

2. Updated documentation to reflect caching changes & make urlretrieve part of the official API again.

3. Kept the urlcleanup function, but use a global list to track temporary files.  I'd be happy to change this functionality if that makes sense.

4. After moving the urlretrieve stuff out of test_urllibnet, I realized that file didn't serve much of a purpose any longer, so I just removed it. 

5. Updated NEWS.

I'd be happy to rework any of this in order to bring it up to stuff. Comments and suggestions are very much welcomed.
