Oops, if this patch is accepted, the comment above SESSION_COOKIE_PATH
in config.py will need editing.  Suggested rewrite:

# Domain and path to which the session cookie is restricted.  Leaving
# these undefined is fine.  Quixote does not have a default "domain"
# option, meaning the session cookie will only be sent to the
# originating server.  If you don't set the cookie path, Quixote will
# use your application's root URL (ie. SCRIPT_NAME in a CGI-like
# environment), meaning the session cookie will be sent to all URLs
# controlled by your application, but no other.

Also, this patch works for me with a CGI/FastCGI driver.  I suspect it
will work with SCGI, which also sets up a CGIish environment.  No clue
how it will work with mod_python, Twisted, or Medusa.  Anyone care to
try it out?
