Use offset_linkid instead of offset to scan >1000 entities.
this is a first-cut. It works in all the ways I could make earlier
versions fail. It passes link_id as URL parameters. It also has a new
class LinkCreator which makes the main body of getListContents even easier
to write.
I wasn't sure if link_id's could have non alphanumeric characters; if so, they
need to be URL encoded/decoded.
I also need to go and remove any mention of raw offsets now, because we don't
use them.
I believe I've talked about this approach with a few of you and it sounded
reasonable. Feel free to roll-back/fix/amend/comment-for-me-to-fix. This is
my first big-logic-change to Melange.

The md5 and sha modules are deprecated since Python 2.5, replaced by the
hashlib module containing both hash algorithms. Here, we provide a common
interface to the md5 and sha constructors, preferring the hashlib module when
available.
