load&cache a list of dict servers

There is a list of DICT servers at http://luetzschena-stahmeln.de/dictd/xmllist.php
Dictc might want to load it and cache it and allow for refreshes (and used the cached values in case something goes wrong with luetzschena-stahmeln.de).
And the customization of the server list that is does now could then go on top of the retrieved list.
This is a piece of code from the Firefox dict client (under the Mozilla license, I believe):

It might be at least an inspiration for how to parse and handle the server list.
