Backport of the print function, using a __future__ import.

This work is substantially Anthony Baxter's, from issue
1633807.  I just freshened it, made a few minor tweaks,
and added the test cases.  I also created issue 2412,
which is to check for 2to3's behavior with the print
function.  I also added myself to ACKS.
