[mod_python] mod_python adapter for mod_wsgi in the make

I forgot to mention there is no automatic code reloading. Thus, if
changing any of the .py files you need to do an Apache restart.

The point is that this is just a proof of concept of WSGI bridge at
the moment. The intent would be to have separate package 'modpysfu'
which adds back all that automatic code reloading that mod_python had
as well as mod_python compatible interfaces for stuff.
