Is 1.1.0 compatable with 1.0.9? i.e. Can 1.1.0 apaches communicate
and proxy safely with 1.0.9 ones?

> * Changed two accidental snprintf's to ap_snprintf's for portability.

> o Make the proxying code more aggressive (with non-blocking I/O).
> o Fix construction of headers in backhand_redirection to avoid possible
> buffer overflow.
> o Caching engine.
> o Change all constants to #define's.
> o Fix code so that is will compile using Sun's ProC compiler.
