-
xnbd-server: Fix --readonly option for the proxy server. Reject write
requests from clients, but may update the cache image file.

memory usage of xnbd-server so that a slow disk and fast network no longer may
force the host into swapping

-
xnbd-bgctl: Limit the number of asynchronous requests to avoid huge memory
consumption of xnbd-server.

Changes relevant to packaging
-
Build system migrated to GNU autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool)
-
Man pages now shipped pre-built as Troff and HTML, too; no more docbook-to-man
-
Man page compression now left to downstream
-
xnbd-wrapper-ctl now depends on Python 2.6 and argparse
0.1.0-pre-hg20-e75b93a47722
While technically this never was an upstream release, it is the state that people
running xNBD on Debian GNU/Linux are familiar with. So we decided to make an
artificial cut.
