IncludeUrlContentWiki

Description

• Get the content from an URL, process it as wiki markup, and return those
  formatted results.
  
  I personally use this in cases where I have a web server
  process to dynamically generate content that relies on wiki
  features like macros, smileys, table layout rules, etc.

I copied the latter part of the code from http://moinmo.in/MacroMarket/MiniPage -- counterpoke

I updated the macro by converting all read text into unicode. This allows this macro to parse macros embedded in the file it reads. Without this fix, when someone includes a macro in the read file, wikiutil would freak out in function invoke_extension_function. --counterpoke

Bugs

The Macro breaks if the included wiki markup cannot be converted using by unicode() (happened for a moin wiki page that i'v included using http://server.domain.de/mywiki/FrontPage?action=raw)

# possible fix
text = unicode(text,encoding='utf-8',errors='replace')
