I've just done a major update of mirrorselect.  While the actual
functioning code did not change significantly it has been chunked up,
moved....

short list of changes:

-- fix the make.conf move.  now dual location capable
-- now py3 compatible. (3.1 restricted, due to differences, failures)
   2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 have been tested, are known to work.  testing with
   pypy, jython and others welcomed
-- now works with a POSIX locale as well as unicode locales
-- all code has been moved from a mostly monolithic script into
   site-packages. A minimal script now just imports and calls the
   site-packages code
-- split up the code into several files
-- create a usable api
        -- create a MirrorSelect class which holds all primary functions
           and logic
        -- move the logic out of main() into individual step functions.
           main() now calls the steps in sequence. It is primarily for
           use by the cli script.


While it is not an often used tool past an initial install.  It is a
very useful tool used by many new users.  I would like to get some
broader testing by more people to ensure the code is ready for a
release.  It has not been tested in prefix yet, I'm still getting mine
up to date.

Thank you
