new: preprocessing module

[GoogleCodeExporter]

some files need to be preporcessed beforer translation.
examples:
- unzip
- mailbag
- convert excel to csv
in a routescrript the preprocessing can be called (is not integrated in routes 
yet).
Change: current mailbag works different!

usage:
             preprocess.preprocess(routedict,function,**args)

routedict speak for itself,
function the is the function that does that actual processing (ug unzipping)
the **args can be used to pass additional arguments to the actual processing 
function.
in preprocess.py are two function that do the achtual processing.

In router.py, function router I use this to for incoming files with 
editype=mailbag.

this also is usable for unzipping files:
         preprocess.preprocess(routedict,preprocess.botsunzip,pass_non_zip=True)

I would like to add the 'un-pdf'-ing of files here.
