Instead of using the XML-RPC v2 extension <nil/>, which Perl's
XML::RPC::Parser does not (yet) support (Joey's patch is pending), we
agreed on a sentinel: {'null':''}, that is, a hash with a single key
"null" pointing to the empty string.
The Python proxy automatically converts None appropriately and raises an
exception if a hook function should, by weird coincidence, attempt to
return {'null':''}.

The proxy module provides an abstraction to facilitate writing ikiwiki
plugins in Python.

SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher.__init__ takes 3 arguments instead of 1 since
python 2.5, so we check for that with a hack, for I found no better way,
other than catching a TypeError exception.

ikiwiki via XML RPC. This should be much faster than the old plugin that
had to fork python for every rst page render. Note that if you use
the rst plugin, you now need to have the RPC::XML perl module installed.
