 There is a growing number of modules available for writing WWW tools.
 The previous release already sported modules \code{gopherlib},
-\code{ftplib}, \code{httplib} and \code{urllib} (unifying the previous
-three) for accessing data through the commonest WWW protocols.  This
-release also provides \code{cgi}, to ease the writing of server-side
