change BP_CONNECTION; new release

I'd like to suggest adding a "void * user_ptr" field to "struct
BP_CONNECTION".  The reason for this is that I'm building an
application and need a place to attach a private structure that
represents the connection.  We already have such links for profile
registrations and profile instances, so I hope this isn't a
controversial change.

Please speak up if there's a problem with this; otherwise I'll just
make the change in a few days.

-------

Also, I'm getting ready to do another round of packaging for Debian.
I'm happy to do another CVS-snapshot package, but at some point I'd
like to make an official release and package that.  There are several
open issues at this point:

* The renaming of the "core" subdirectory.  Has anyone thought of a
  good name for this?

* Whether the include-file restructuring still needs work or is
  acceptable as is.  The last round of discussion ended without a
  consensus.

* Whether the changed code works on Windows systems -- does anyone
  have the means to build and test this?  Are there other platforms
  that must be tested prior to release?

Presumably a release has to be done by one of the project admins,
right?  If so, will either of you have time for this in the next
couple of months?
