Hunting for deprecated modules.

* Deprecated in 2.1: TERMIOS.py, whrandom.py. * Deprecated in 2.2: mpz module, statcache module. There are also various 2.2-deprecated methods in the email package; Barry can decide if he wants to bother with them or not.

I'll probably remove those. We're bumping the email package's own version number to 3.

My proposal: * Remove TERMIOS, mpz, statcache, xreadlines, rotor. * Make rfc822 raise PendingDeprecationWarning (so nothing will happen in 2.4 unless you have -Wa)

+1

* Make mimetools, mimify, Mimewrite raise DeprecationWarnings. (This is the part I'm least sure about; comments from people who know about these modules would be appreciated. Should they raise Pending instead?)

DeprecationWarnings on mimify and MIMEWriter. Not sure atm, what to do about mimetools, but it's clearly destined for death.
