Package for handling (encoding/decoding) of international domainnames using Punycode

The Punycode-representation is now the official standard for international domainnames. All language-specific / national characters are encoded into what is known as "Punycode". The Punycode comprises of "simple" ASCII-characters and therefor allows transparent use in DNS, webservers, mailers, proxies etc. All future browsers/email-clients are strongly encouraged to implement Punycode.

The classes are based on documentation from RFC3454 (Stringprep), RFC3490 (IDNA), RFC3491 (Nameprep) and RFC3492 (Punycode).
