In Mailman, I use a version of Cookie.py written by Timothy dated from
1998. I'm now trying to see if I can get rid of my independent
copy and just use Cookie.py in the Python 2.x standard library.
I've hit a snag; in Mailman's copy, it is legal to have a `:' in the
key name, but in Python's Cookie.py it isn't:

I don't see any reason why `:' shouldn't be allowed in Set-Cookie:
value, but maybe I'm missing something in the RFCs. This patch fixes
the problem but perhaps not in the right way. Comments?
