Provide information about connected users

This feature would be similar to what is provided by "who" command.
On Unix this info can be extracted from the utmp structure: 
http://linux.die.net/man/5/utmp From there we can extract various information 
such as connected usernames, associated terminals (tty) and login times.

There's a python binding available here: http://software.clapper.org/pyutmp/ As 
for the API, I image a "psutil.get_users()" function returning a list of 
namedtuples for every connected user.

I still have to look into the Windows implementation (actually I still have to 
look into everything =)).

Committed code temporarily removed as of r1237 because we're going to have an 
intermediate bug-fix only release.
