[Zope] Formatting Query Strings

[Evan Simpson]

It automatically *html* quotes.  Url-quoting is a swamp.  If you have a
query string, you can't just quote the whole URL, or even the whole query
string, since the '?', '&'s, and '='s will get quoted.  'url_quote' works
fine on both the path and query, but 'url_quote_plus' only works on the
query bits.  I bundle all this nastiness up in a method which is called like
this:

makeURL(base='', path='/where/am/I?', include_last_query=1,
swearing='&#^&*?')

to produce: /where/am/I%3f/?bits=from+last+query&swearing=%26%23%5e%26%2a%3f
