I have to confess, when I wrote mpservlets I completely missed
utils.redirect().  Duh.  Everywhere else I built on top of
mod_python, not wanting to reinvent the wheel.  Here's a lesson for
you!

Next version, external_redirect() will wrap utils.redirect().  I will
apply this fix to my next release of mpservlets.  Thanks to Scott and
Graham.
