Feeds applet doesn't show escaped characters properly

This has been fixed in r1330. Thank you for your bug report.

The ’ issue is fixed, however, it displays " instead of the character. For example in this feed:
http://sharkbaitbobby.blogspot.com/feeds/2791440219533669058/comments/default
The newest entry is displayed with " but the tooltip is o.k., it shows the character.

Unfortunately the fix is not very good. Some characters are shown properly, like ’ others are not, like … or –. (I don't know why, but you can see it at the moment in http://planet.awn-project.org/?feed=atom )

Other entities like " are now displayed like this - that is a regression of this fix.

I don't see the point in reinventing standards (like HTML unescaping) again and again. This patch/def is taken from Fredrik Lundh at http://effbot.org/zone/re-sub.htm#unescape-html. The copyright statement of the website says: "Unless otherwise noted, source code can be be used freely. Examples, test scripts and other short code fragments can be considered as being in the public domain."

It works as is, "import re" is already done, "import htmlentitydefs" is not needed (I don't know why).

Patch applied in revision 1424.
