Clement Laforet f012ee36b4 Add python director 0.0.7.
This is a pure-python TCP load balancer. It takes inbound TCP
connections and connects them to one of a number of backend servers.

Features:
    * async i/o based, so much less overhead than fork/thread based
      balancers.
    * Multiple scheduling algorithms (random, round robin, leastconns,
      leastconns+roundrobin)
    * If a server fails to answer, it's removed from the pool - the
      client that failed to connect gets transparently failed over to a
      new host.
    * xml based configuration file
    * seperate management thread that periodically re-adds failed hosts
      if they've come back up.
    * optional builtin webserver for admin (sample of the running
      screen)
    * webserver has methods suitable for both interactive and automated
      systems
