Neat!

Well, if you think you can do it, go ahead. I don't want to break CVS
*that* badly before he gets back.

Once that fs bug has been licked from squid-2.4 and the codebase is stable,
I *will* start bringing across sourceforge stuff. The reason that I haven't
already done this is because that aborted client bug is classified by me
as "serious" and I'd rather solve that before introducing any more possible
gotchas in the squid-HEAD source.

Unless anyone really objects, I'd like to merge:

* Benno's SSL acceleration (when he updates it :)
* the NTLM/auth rewrite
* kinkie's ACL changes
* Moez's memory+cbdata speedups
* Andres' chunked mempools code

The trick is to get it all in without causing major headaches in the
merge process, so as I've said before I'm going to bring in Moez's memory
changes first, force you all to merge it in to your branches and then
commit stuff. (Yes, that might suck, but you all know your branches
better than I..)

Anyway, , lets sort out that FS bug. I'm testing some diskd changes
right now and I'll finish them up tonight. Henrik is probably the best
person to do the asyncio changes, but he's not around. :-)
