Admin: Python CGI & command-line interface for vls telnet

[Bill Eldridge]

I added a few Expect-style Python scripts
to my page for controlling vls via the current
telnet interface:

1) one CGI script and an html form for a Web page
	vlsadmin.py
	vlsadmin.html

2) one command-line Python script:

	vlscommand.py [ -u user ] [ -p password ] command

They can also read a user:password
from /usr/local/etc/videolan/vls/login.txt

Unfortunately, it looks like the status returned
on programs always says "0", or I could use that
status to extend this and create "start" for stopped
programs and "stop" for started programs.
(I could do it anyway, but it's ugly to have
both possibilities).
