Add Gregory K. Johnson's revised version of mailbox.py (funded by

the 2005 Summer of Code).

The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding
and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and
default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message.

The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility.
The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module
and now inherits from the new classes.  The Maildir class's interface
is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing
code.

(The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different
news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)

The effect of the patch is to stop making that impossible, and in tests it
appears to be effective at least on Microsoft C and gcc-based systems.
Thanks to Evan Jones for hard work and patience.
