RE: No string type wrapping

For those of you who need to talk to a XML-RPC server that doesn't like the
lack of <string>...</string> tags, specifications be damned. It's a pretty
easy fix.

As this special feature seems to be requested frequently: I have made
the XmlWriter public in the SVN branch of version 2. Also, I have
added an FAQ entry that demonstrates how to get "string" tags by
subclassing the XmlRpcClient. Which is, IMO, a much preferrable
solution over patching.
