web: add basic tests
This patch adds a new test module `test_web` to automate testing of web
requests. For now the tests are rather simple and only check for
expected status codes.
To set up the flask app within the tests, it has to be configured
properly. This is the reason why the app configuration part in `web.py`
has been moved into an own function - now it may also be used by the
test module.

// Flask //
web development, one drop at a time
~ What is Flask?
Flask is a microframework for Python based on Werkzeug
and Jinja2. It's intended for small scale applications
and was developped with best intentions in mind.
~ Is it ready?
A preview release is out now, and I'm hoping for some
input about what you want from a microframework and
how it should look like. Consider the API to slightly
improve over time.
~ What do I need?
Jinja 2.4 and Werkzeug 0.6.1. `easy_install` will
install them for you if you do `easy_install Flask==dev`.
I encourage you to use a virtualenv. Check the docs for
complete installation and usage instructions.
~ Where are the docs?
Go to http://flask.pocoo.org/ for a prebuilt version of
the current documentation. Otherwise build them yourself
from the sphinx sources in the docs folder.
~ Where can I get help?
Either use the #pocoo IRC channel on irc.freenode.net or
ask on the mailinglist: http://flask.pocoo.org/mailinglist/
