URI Templates update

Hi URI people,

Just a few notes regarding URI Templates, since we have an RFC now <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570>:

* Joe's implementation in Python has been moved to Github, and we've got it up to RFC level 4 conformance. See
<https://github.com/uri-templates/uritemplate-py>. It's also now listed in pypi
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/uritemplate/0.5.1>. Note that it's still beta-quality; it doesn't do
much in the way of input checking, for example.

* We've also started collecting test cases at <https://github.com/uri-templates/uritemplate-test>.
Right now it includes the examples from the RFC, but we've been talking with other implementers about
adding more; please make a pull request or raise an issue as appropriate. Note that the Python
implementation above uses these for its testing.

* Finally, the list of implementations at
<http://code.google.com/p/uri-templates/wiki/Implementations> has been updated. If you have more
information about one of them, or would like one added, please make a comment there.

Cheers,

Who's this "we" you speak of? Mark did all the work, for which I'm
very grateful! Thanks Mark!

Ah, I just did some packaging, QA and bug-hunting; the code's all yours :)
