Well, as soon as you get a version, let me know: I've started working
on documentation.

Well, depends on what you mean there:

There are now three classes

a) SimpleCookie -- never uses pickle
b) SerilizeCookie -- always uses pickle
c) SmartCookie -- uses pickle based on old heuristic.

About web package: I'm +0. Fred has to think about how to document
things in packages (we never had to until now). Well, who cares <wink>

What is more important is working on documentation (which I'm doing),
and on a regression test (for which the May 23 version is probably good 
enough).
