Merge with PyXML 1.3:

Add support for the DOM Level 3 (draft) DOMImplementationSource interface
to the xml.dom and xml.dom.minidom modules.  Note API issue: the draft spec
says to return null when there is no suitable implementation, while the
Python getDOMImplementation() function raises ImportError (minor).
