mod_fastcgi 2.4.4 released

It was my intent to incorporate all of the relevant patches that have been
posted to the developers list in the last few years.  

Please email the developers list (not me directly) if you encounter any
issues or find that a change you needed was not incorporated.

In other news, there are changes in the works to give fastcgi.com a facelift
and incorporate a wiki.  I also intend to roll a new fastcgi library
(devkit) in relatively short order.

Changes to mod_fastcgi since 2.4.2:


*) Allow FastCgiServer and FastCgiExternal server directives
    to be used within VirtualHosts (again).  Add docs to explain
    potential accessibility from other VirtualHosts.
    [Rob Saccoccio <robs fastcgi.com>]
    
 *) Check for a null filename in the request to prevent an NPE that
    was occurring when a WebSphere Apache module was also in use.
    [Fabian Pehla <fabian pehla.de>}

 *) [AP2] Call ap_set_content_type() rather than setting the content_type
    directly so that the AddOutputFilterByType directive can work correctly.
    [Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst <tom.hurst clara.net>]

 *) Don't use initializers for timeval structs because on 64bit
    MVS there is a padding field in between tv_sec and tv_usec.
    [Eric Covener <covener gmail.com>]

 *) [AP2] Add support for nph (non parsed header) scripts.
        [Peter Zijlstra <peterz nedstat.com>]
        
 *) Abort the request if the client connection ends prematurely.
    [Peter Zijlstra <peterz nedstat.com>]

 *) Introduce the apr_* backward compatibility macros removed 
    in Apache 2.2.  ["Daniel Smertnig" <daniel.smertnig gmail.com>]
    
 *) Fix a problem (remove install-modules) in Makefile.AP2 under 
    Apache 2.2.  ["Daniel Smertnig" <daniel.smertnig gmail.com>]

 *) Don't count an application exit towards the number of
    failures when doing restart backoff handling if the exit
    status is 0.  ["Rob Saccoccio" <robs fastcgi.com>]

 *) [*nix] Don't use suexec when there is no user/group in effect.
    This change is consistent with Apache2 handling.  Identified
    by ["Florian Effenberger" <floeff arcor.de>].

 *) Add a -min-server-life option to the FastCgiConfig and 
    FastCgiServer directives to provide better control of the 
    restart backoff feature.  ["Benjamin Osheroff" <ben gimbo.net>]
