[PATCH] Add support for fetching source code from a remote URI.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Nice project.  I've attached a patch to shCore.js that allows you to load 
the source from a remote URI, which I find quite useful.  This would be 
done as follows:

<pre name="code" class="python:remote">enter/link/to/some/code.py</pre>

It's restricted to only fetching URIs from the same server (the default 
behaviour of XMLHttpRequest is to not allow open() on a different site).  

Needs a bit more work before it's production ready; the error messages 
need improving and it'd be nice to spruce up the aesthetics while it's 
loading the file.  (I don't know JavaScript so there may be better ways to 
implement what I've done as well.  I've kept the style consistent to yours 
though.)

Examples of it in the real world:

Thoughts?

One disadvantage I see of this is that it doesn't degrade at all.  It just 
becomes
the URL in text.

Maybe something like:
<a href="enter/link/to/some/code.py" class="python:remote">View the Source</a>

Ciao!
