session decoding simplification (tested with moinmoin 1.8.5 and django 1.1.0 about django-moinmoin HOT 2 OPEN

Bruce, these changes are excellent and were actually necessary to get this 
working for me on MoinMoin 1.9.3. There was one additional change that was 
necessary for 1.9.3 though:

cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie(request.saved_cookie)

needs to be:

cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie(request.cookies)

It took some hacking to figure this all out, but now it works great. Thanks to 
Tom and Bruce. Hope to see this get updated someday so others won't have to go 
through the same pain w/ the new versions.

Also, there is a new External Cookie Doc on the MoinMoin site for 1.9. 
Hopefully this helps someone:
