Users should be able to delete themselves from server

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The server should have an option to delete a user's data from it entirely, so 
as to effectively eliminate them from the system. No identifying data (e.g., 
everything but the Analytics data) should remain after this option is invoked.

I'm a C# developer, so I've been monkeying with java, but not with Python.
Looks like you need to add in the app definition

 ('/links/erase', EraseLinksHandler),

Then something like:
class EraseLinksHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
    '''This class is built to erase all activity of an authenticated users. It takes no arguments, and returns nothing.'''
    def get(self):
        if users.get_current_user():
            links = Link.all().filter("author =", users.get_current_user())
            for link in links:
               link.delete()
        else:
            self.redirect(users.create_login_url("/links/erase"))

Yeah, it's a pretty simple fix. I just haven't gotten around to it. I also need 
to think of an elegant way to include it in the Android and Chrome Extension 
UIs, too.

Thanks for the code, though. :)
