Speaking of store files - After really looking into the store logic, it 
seems my notion of how store worked was all wrong : the elimination of 
messages that received acks/nacks from storage is done only on 
store_load, so it's quite possible that a long running Kannel will 
develop mighty store files which can bring any machine to its proverbial 
knees. IMO, it's not the right thing to do : message-ack matching should 
be done on-line, thus preventing issues of too big store files.

I think that a housekeeping thread would be better. This would do 
ack-message matching
when store size has grown to great. This way we can avoid either

a) unsecure storage of unacked messages or
b) doing ramdom access with a hard disk
