The append-text.py script from the script market does not seem to work with
MoinMoin 1.6.  This patch attempts to make it work.

Please note that you must edit append-text.py to add your config dir 
(where wikiconfig.py is) and the directory where the MoinMoin library 
scripts are located to sys.path.  If you want to edit MoinMoin pages that 
are not world-writable, you must edit append-text.py to set the 
'editor_email' variable.

To apply this patch run "patch -p 1 < append-text.patch" in the same dir as append-text.py.
