How would you feel about it being optionally available and for the tests
for mechanize to only run for it if someone has aleady preinstalled
mechanize? That is the tests will skip if import mechanize is an
ImportError?

While I'm not in love with mechanize, if it is a tool that _some_
people use, then I don't want wsgi-intercept to not be useful to them.

Let me know if the above idea can't work. Depending on your answer
I'll either release a version as described, or go ahead and flush it.
If you get back to me by tomorrow morning (UTC) I can probably get the new
version out tomorrow too.
