- Fixed Session.sessionEncode() so that it produces the proper query string.

- Fixed hanging and crashing problems in wkcgi.exe.

- Added new Application.config settings (see User's Guide for details):

  - ExtensionsToServe
  - UseCascadingExtensions
  - ExtensionCascadeOrder
  - FilesToHide
  - FilesToServe
- Added callMethodOfServlet() to Application.
- Added convenience methods forward(), includeURL(), and callMethodOfServlet() to Page. These are equivalent to the methods in Application of the same name, except that they don't take the transaction as the first argument.
