Hey, while we're at it... as long as we're renaming modules, what do you all think of getting rid of that "lib" suffix?

As in:

net urlparse url ftp gopher imap pop nntp smtp telnet http cgi server [...] text re # general-purpose parsing sgml html htmlentitydefs [...]

"import net.ftp" seems nicer to me than "import ftplib".

We could also just stick htmlentitydefs.entitydefs in html and deprecate htmlentitydefs.
