Since nobody is complaining, I've messed with the MIME code some more. :) Mostly cleanup, some more tests, a
bit of documentation. The parser no longer attempts to decode payloads, and a message will only perform
content-transfer decoding, returning an NSData object. Charset decoding is up to the user.

Next I'll have a go at writing the MIME generator (the reverse of LBMIMEParser). Afterwards, some tests for
encoded header values (RFC 2231) - there seems to be some code for that in LBMIMEParser, but we'll see.

So far I've been using the Python email module as a reference, except when it does weird things, presumably
for backwards compatibility.
