PyCurl maintenance

I'll be doing some PyCurl maintenance and preparing for a release sometime in the near future. First initial release will just be cleanups all around so this would be a good time for any concerned party to get me those small patches I've seen floating about. If you are a distro packager with patches you've been applying in your builds that you think should have been upstream, please contact me. I'll try to hunt as much of these down as I can myself, with the help of some interns.  As a note my employer NYU Institute for the Study of the Ancient World  has been very gracious in allowing me the time to do so because I don't really have any as it is.

Also, whoever wrote a patch for Python 3.0 support  Unfortunately, you posted this patch as anonymous and I will not commit without discussion from the person who wrote it. If I don't see anything I will reimplement Python 3.0 support myself. I'd really hate to have to redo a chunk of the work when a readily acceptable patch may already exist. So please contact me! I'd prefer an email to my kernelcode.com email but sourceforge is ok as a communication method as well.

I also need to update some stale links on the pycurl website and such which I will try to get around to asap. In regards to windows installation of PyCurl i've seen some issues there and will try and duplicate but as I don't readily use Windows on a daily basis it's going to be touch-and-go in a VM for a little bit. If you can explicitly state the problems and issues that you are having there, it will help me immensely in shoring that up.
