Implements the CouchDB API for twisted.

Enhancements

• Added support for CouchDB 1.1.0.
• Added test cases against real CouchDB instance.
• Upgraded client interface to reflect CouchDB API changes (count -> limit). The changes occurred in CouchDB 0.8 -> 0.9.
• Tests will run even if the admin party is closed in the system-wide couchdb configuration
• Added CouchDB authentication support (supply username and password args when instantiating)
• Re-factored underlying HTTP transport to use Twisted Web Agent (will allow connection pooling in the future).
• Re-factored code into formal Python package. API compatible with old package layout.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed attachment handling so it returns the attachment instead of the owning document (dwb)

• Updated CouchDB support up to version CouchDB 1.0.1

• Doesn't keep connections alive between requests.

This isn't under heavy maintenance by me, I only use a subset of the functionality and wrap the rest away in a non-portable internal library. Please fork and make it better.

For David's initial repo, see https://launchpad.net/paisley. David has asked me to make github the official repo since we're actively keeping it up with CouchDB version bumps.
