PATCH: Minor redirect fix for Gnatsweb 2.8.0

[Yngve Svendsen]

The following patch fixes a problem caused by a change of behaviour in all 
versions of CGI.pm from 2.64 onwards (2.753 is current right now). It now 
by default returns URLs with parameters separated by semicolons instead of 
ampersands, subtly breaking the redirect functionality of Gnatsweb versions 
2.7 beta and 2.8.0. Redirects still happen, but the browser is redirected 
to the main Gnatsweb page instead of to the page which the user came from.

The following patch fixes this, by instructing CGI.pm to use "old-style" URLs:
