  Remove the imageop module.  With imgfile already removed in Python 3.0 and
  rgbimg gone in Python 2.6 the unit tests themselves were made worthless.  Plus
  third-party libraries perform the same function much better.

    Remove the gopherlib module.  It has been raising a DeprecationWarning since
    Python 2.5.

    Also remove gopher support from urllib/urllib2.  As both imported gopherlib the
    usage of the support would have raised a DeprecationWarning.

    Reduce the max stack depth to see if this fixes the segfaults on
    Windows and some other boxes.  If this is successful, this rev should
    be backported.  I'm not sure how close to the limit we should push this.

    Set the depth to something very small to try to determine if the
    crashes on Windows are really due to the stack size or possibly
    some other problem.

    Last try for tweaking the max stack depth.  5000 was the original value,
    4000 didn't work either.  1000 does work on Windows.  If 2000 works,
    that will hopefully be a reasonable balance.
