I'm using fnord for my Capture The Flag contest
(http://dirtbags.net/ctf/) and have been maintaining a forked version
under git (http://woozle.org/~neale/gitweb.cgi?p=fnord).  Last week I
began seriously overhauling the code to better suit my needs.  Here's
the changelog so far:

  Add all patches from (defunct) Debian package
  Replace libowfat with libc
  Replace buffer_1 and buffer_2 with stdio
  Fix segfault with directory listing of /
  Replace compile-time options with command-line ones
  Add regression test suite
  Fix if-modified-since date parsing
  Make text content-types use charset=UTF-8
  Change default content-type to application/octet-stream
  Makefile no longer overrides CC and CPP from parent makes
  Don't send Content-type if there's no content

I'm currently working on a problem with CGI end-of-header parsing that I
discovered with the regression test suite on different platforms.

It occurs to me that:

1. Other people might be interested in this, and
2. It's diverged to the point that I should either rename it or claim
maintainership

This list seemed like the best place to find out about both points.  I'm
particularly interested in how Felix feels about point 2.  The removal
of libowfat seems like a big enough departure that he might prefer a
fork, but who knows!
