[Seaside] VW Port

[Roger Whitney]

David,
	Thanks for all the work. I was able to install this version without 
any problems. The Base64 stuff does work. The EphemeronDictionary does 
make it more stable. I still get random errors of the same type as 
before, but fewer of them. Before it was not possible for the following 
to run without the error occurring.

20 timesRepeat: 
['http://localhost:8008/servlet/SeasideServlet/counter/' asURI 
readStream]

With the current version I have been able to get up to 100 accesses 
without the problem occurring. Of course sometimes the error occurs in 
the first 10 accesses. I tried adding a delay (see below) to see if 
slowing down the requests would change things. Still would get the 
error occurring.

20 timesRepeat:
	['http://localhost:8008/servlet/SeasideServlet/counter/' asURI 
readStream.
	( Delay forMilliseconds: 500) wait]

Of course once an application instance is created I can access it all I 
want and not have a problem - or at least no problem in first 2000 
accesses.

By the way in a crude test I am averaging 27 hits per second on an 
instantiated Seaside application on a 400 MHz PowerBook.
