Okay, this is a good start. Let's just do string keys for the fields
(like `download` does for the :header option) and we can split the
auth into :username, :password and :auth.
upload_form "http://www.stevex.net/dump.php";,
:fields => {'person[name]' => "Johnny"},
:username => "name", :password => "pwd" do |dump|
# ...
end
And `upload` would be used for strictly sending a raw body or File
to a url.
upload "/tmp/body.post", :to => "http://www.stevex.net/dump.php";

Yeah, okay, these are good, too. This is productive.
