Subject: mechanize 2.1 prerelease

mechanize 2.1.pre.1 is up on rubygems.org. Notable improvements over mechanize 2.0.1 include:

* Improvements in handling of connections closed by the server including a connection
  idle timeout setting and the ability to disable keep-alive connections. This addresses
  the "too many connection resets" error.
* Improvements in cookie handling by Akinori MUSHA including cookie behavior like most
  modern browsers, proper TLD cookie domain handling via the domain_name gem
* SSL peer certificate validation is enabled by default.
