Afternoon everyone,
 
This is the latest incarnation of gitweb w/ caching.  This is
finally at the point where it should probably start either being
considered for inclusion or mainline, or I need to accept that this
will never get in and more perminantely fork (as is the case with
Fedora where this is going in as gitweb-caching as a parrallel rpm
package).

That said this brings the base up to mainline (again), it updates a number of elements in the caching engine, and this is a much cleaner break-out of the tree vs. what I am currently developing against.

v5:
	- Missed a couple of things that were in my local tree, and
	  added them back in.
	- Split up the die_error and the version matching patch
	- Set version matching to be on by default - otherwise this
	  really is code that will never get checked, or at best
	  enabled by default by distributions
	- Added a minor code cleanup with respect to $site_header
	  that was already in my tree
	- Applied against a more recent git tree vs. 1.6.6-rc2
	- Removed breakout patch for now (did that in v4 actually)
	  and will deal with that separately 
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/warthog9/gitweb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gitweb-ml-v5
v4:
	- major re-working of the caching layer to use file handle
	  redirection instead of buffering output
	- other minor improvements
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/warthog9/gitweb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/gitweb-ml-v4
v3:
	- various minor re-works based on mailing list feedback,
	  this series was not sent to the mailing list.
v2:
	- Better breakout
	- You can actually disable the cache now
