PageComment3

I patched PageComment2 from Seungik Lee to include captchas (I actually use recaptcha). I got the impression when browsing the moinmoin pages that there is some controversity for supporting captchas (compare this link), so I added the support myself. Thanks to Seungik Lee for his great macro, which was easy enough to change. I got some feedback from Wenliang Lu to make it run under moinmoin 1.8. I will publish his version too.

Documentation

Here is the documentation from the source code (with my little additions).
