Title: Make Requests Python 2.5 Compatible

Requests, for all of its brilliance, is not compatible with Python 2.5. @kennethreitz has said that he has no intention of making Requests back-compatible with Python 2.5, and I think that's the correct decision for Requests as a whole.

However, there is likely to be some interest in a port of Requests to Python 2.5: at the very least, [my employer](www.metaswitch.com) is likely to find some use for it. For that reason, I'm going to see how possible it is to back-port Requests.

I have no plans to commit these changes to the main repository: Python 2.5 lacks too many features that make coding easier, and it's not right to force that limitation on the main repository.

This pull request will hold the set of changes I make to achieve compatibility. I'm going to start with getting the tests to run.
