+- When cancelling a server that implemented threading with a keyboard
+ interrupt, the server would shut down but not terminate (waiting on
+ client threads). A new member variable, daemon_threads, was added to
+ the ThreadingMixIn class in SocketServer.py to make it explicit that
+ this behavior needs to be controlled.

- A new module, optparse, provides a fancy alternative to getopt for
command line parsing. It is a slightly modified version of Greg
Ward's Optik package.
