I want to make TG2 be based on WebOb "from the beginning" so that we
don't have to make a breaking change after we release it to a wider
public.

I thought this was going to be a flip the switch kind of thing, but
when Alberto took up the challenge it turned out to be more than we
though.

it turns out there are two WebOb incompatibilities in the current
pylons trunk which need to be overcome.

Here's what Alberto had to say:

We  can fix 1 easily, but I think it would be good to have a plan
about how to handle 2, since we likely want testutil to work with both
pylons request response objects and WebOb.

It's also possible that there will be other issues after 2 is fixed
which we haven't found yet since we're not yet to the point where the
test infrastructure works to show us what else might be failing.
