SharedCookieAuthPlugin

 SharedCookieAuthPlugin allows cookies to be shared between Trac instances in the same environment (i.e. directory).  The plugin monkey-patches `trac.web.auth.LoginModule` so that cookies get set at `/` instead of `req.base_path` (See following note). The incoming request is then passed by the `authenticate` method of the `IAuthenticator` interface to projects that peer the project of interest to see if the user is authenticated there.  This enables single-sign on for Trac projects in the same directory.

 So this has been made a part of Trac, and a simplified plugin version (not yet available) should work for Trac version >= 0.12 without that monkey-patching.

+Note2: Before recent maintainer take-over, this plugin inspired a native Single-Sign-On functionality in AccountManagerPlugin, that is stable, available since acct_mgr-0.4 and even solves some of the shortcomings of this plugin. Most importantly login/logout works from any Trac environment sharing identical cookie path settings.
