simplejson 1.9.x made it into python 2.6, with a few fixes.

simplejson 2.x is a couple times faster for encoding and decoding, so
it's not worth using the version that ships with 2.6 unless you have
to. There is/was a patch in the queue for 2.6.1 but I think it's still
waiting for review and probably won't make it (patch was submitted at
least a month or two ago though, but it's out of my hands).
