(fundamental) problem with password reset in 1.x: URL's become too long

Hello all,

on freesound.org we are using the built-in password reset view to send
users password reset emails... and there is a bit of a fundamental
problem with the password reset emails, or more in detail the password
reset URLS: they are way too long.

In our app we get URLs like this:

http://www.freesound.org/home/resetpassword/confirm/1-123-a12345678ed12345d123/

OK, we could cut back the URL by removing our own path
"home/resetpassword/confirm", but I'm sure other people have the same
problems.

Once every 10s of times this gives us problems because -I suppose-
some email apps cut off the URL, or add newlines into it (perhaps the
dashes!).

We were actually having the same type of problems with (our own)
activation links. Cutting them back to only a fewer (random)
characters solved all the problems there.

cheers,

- Bram
