Actually I found a neat way to do it just by counting '/' chars in
self.request.uri and it seems reasonably reliable.

This commit is rebased against master (ditching the old one). It
- puts spaces around {{ x }} in the templates
- barely touches the python sources
- generates completely relative URLs!
- (and thus keeps the url_root out of the configuration)
I've done a moderate amount of manual testing. It would be cool to have a
version of Irene that exhaustively follows every link accessible on the contest
and admin websites. Another day :)
Cheers,
Bernard.
