moin creates all pages as directories in one top level directory

Bug Description

moin creates all it's pages as a directory in the the data/pages
directory. It also flattens any hierarchy in the process, e.g.
Testing/Cases/UMEdesktop-config-date becomes:

drwxrwx--- 4 www-data www-data 4096 2008-04-10 00:05 Testing(2f)Cases(2f)UMEdesktop(2d)config(2d)date

This is compounded by pre 1.6 which also creates
${User}MoinEditorBackup 'pages' (i.e. another directory) for anyone
who edits a page.

The above in combination with ext2/3's '32K-directories in one
directory' limit caused wiki.ubuntu.com to break recently. Even if
you discount this as an 'ext2/3 FS limit', it's not exactly a great
plan in terms of scalability.
