[Zope] encoding strings for CGI

[Alexander Staubo]

There's no reason for Zope not to URL encode slashes (in my experience
URL encoders usually encode everything but a-zA-Z0-9; has URL encoding
ever been standarized, anyway?), although I'm not sure if this omission
causes trouble for browsers. Exactly how have you been bitten?
