		to push authN deicsions back into the application.
	filter: issue a new service cookie if the one presented is more than

	html: new looping page, a redirect from the cgi, will allow you to

Thanks to Phil Pishioneri from Penn State University for some minor bug fixes.

FYI: Cosign 1.8.0, which will mostly be Brett Lomas' (University of Auckland) changes to allow runtime configuration of the cgi and daemon from a single configuration file, will be released as soon as we get it reviewed and checked in. The only planned filter change is to allow CosignProtected On/Off in .htaccess files. Those of you who do not like to upgrade often and/or really want the runtime configuration for the cgi and daemon are advised to consider waiting.
