This is what I did with WebwareExpRefactoring,  but I've been too busy this 
month to finish off the compatibility stuff we talked about last month 
(config files, MiscUtils, and WebUtils).  I'm hoping to get around to it in 
the next month, but no promises.  

If anyone else wants to have a look at it, see 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/expwebware/Webware/WebKit/Test/

It's based on Steve Purcell's httpsession.py. Unfortunately I've recently 
discovered that httpsession.py is based on Python's original urllib rather 
than urllib2 so it doesn't work with https requests.  That shouldn't be a 
problem for testing WebKit though.
