No bitrot in Python 2.2.2.

I now have a test case for SmtpService which uses smtpd.py.  I had to
use threads so the reader and writer don't block each other, but it
was pretty easy to do.  I'll go ahead and check these in so folks can
see what my ideas are here.

I'd still like to rewrite SmtpService along the lines I mentioned in
my previous message, but I'll leave that for another time.
