BTW, I suggest we do it differently: rename the functions and
the struct httpstor as they are introduced in libhail (without
changing anything else, to prevent accidential regressions).
This way, tabled and our out-of-tree tests can continue to build
for a couple of days and smoothly switch over to new libraries.

BTW 2, what is the license? I am wondering if we should adopt
a "Lesser GPL" for libhail. I heard some unhappy comments about
Fefe shipping libraries with GPL, and not necesserily from proprietary
vendors. There was some stuff wrt linking perfectly free code with MIT
license or something, but I do not remember details.
