Existing uses of the json module:

  - IO/Image/Testing/Python/TestImageJSONWriter.py
  - Web/Applications/GraphLayout/server/vtk_web_graph.py (imported, but
    unused)
  - Web/Python/launcher.py

If it's just for testing, we could disable the JSONWriter test (or even
just that part) with Python < 2.6 since the rest of the code work with
2.5 (though there should be notes that the web stuff requires 2.6 unless
rewored).
