mechanize is only used tests (using Five.testbrowser and zope.testbrowser).
So the functionality of Zope does not depend on mechanize and especially
not of this one Python file..I doubt that this file is ever used...so

pretty dead code from the Zope point of view - that's why I don't care much
this issue.

No. Python 2.4 is required.
