timeoutsocket

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently this comment sits in the code:

{{{

 timeoutsocket allows feedparser to time out rather than hang forever on
ultra-slow servers. Python 2.3 now has this functionality available in the
standard socket library, so under 2.3 you don't need to install anything. 
But you probably should anyway, because the socket module is buggy and
timeoutsocket is better.

}}

Looking into this, finding mention at
http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/24457-timeoutsocket-py about the
integration on 2.3.

I hope to keep this compatible, even while this issue is quite old (~2001).

Also, it seems it may be a bit hard to get a up-to-date version of the package.
