sessions malfunction at current weboid [beaker] revision

[The Dod]

Revisions 5,6 of weboid use beaker for sessions (instead of flup).
Session don't function as expected.
The session doesn't "forget" stuff when you log out.
More than that - it even "remembers" everything on *other* machines :)

Evidently, I don't understand something essential in beaker, but I think the best course of action would be to use Karol's sessions at web.py 3.0, as this seems to be the upcoming standard

I'm working on converting the sessions stuff to a new v3-style processor.

Thats great.

I think the right way to do is to take application and session
parameters as argument to Session.__init__ and add a processor to the
application instead of loadhook.
Session can be extended from ThreadedDict instead of Storage to store
session data for every request instead of creating a new session
object for every request.

That's indeed what I've done so far.

In addition, I am moving most of the functionality out of the session object itself and into the processor (which is a class implementing __call__).

That's an excellent idea!

Latest version no longer uses beaker, and seems to work with web.py 0.32
