Quixote 0.6 beta2 released

The dictionary-mangling bug found by Nicola Larosa is the first bug in
0.6beta1 that's sort of serious, so it seems like a good time 
for another beta release.  0.6beta2 is now available from 
the usual place:
      http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/quixote/

The changes between 0.6beta1 and beta2 are:

  * Added a new hook, _q_resolve(), that can be used to delay 
    importing modules until they're actually accessed.  Consult
    doc/programming.txt for an explanation.  (Original
    suggestion and patch by Jon Corbet.  In the process of adding it,
    Publisher.get_component() was rearranged to clarify the logic.)

  * Fixed the Medusa HTTP server to work with HTML templates (David M. Cooke)
    and to call finish_failed_request (pointed out by Graham Fawcett).

  * Added HTTP_USER_AGENT and ACCEPT_ENCODING to Medusa HTTP server. 
    (Graham Fawcett)

  * Fixed _c_htmltext.c to compile on Windows.  (Graham Fawcett)

  * Fixed two bugs in _c_htmltext.c found by code review,
    and one bug in _py_htmltext.py found by Nicola Larosa.  
    (Neil Schemenauer)

  * Added a page to the demo that dumps the contents of the HTTPRequest.

  * Made upload.py write out HTTP upload data in binary mode, so
    binary content-types work correctly on Windows.  (Graham Fawcett)

  * Added classifiers for use with Python 2.3's "register" command.
