The way I use the session is to simply track the last visit time and
optionally a user id if an account has been created.  That's it.  And I
store the sessions in a database (so I don't waste server memory and so
the session is available to multiple front-end servers).

So, if I have to abandon the the session filter because the cookie
doesn't write to disk on Internet Explorer, here's what I'll be doing:
- copying & pasting the sessionfilter.py
- change "max-age" to "expires" so the cookie works on IE
- renaming the session database table to longsession
- disabling the cherrypy sessions because I have no use for them

I guess that's why this is a head-scratcher: the sessionfilter does
exactly what I want and I've set things up so that I don't over-extend
the session data, but I can't use it because the expiration time on the
session's cookie doesn't work on IE.
