Hi!

First of all, congratulation for cppcms 1.0.
It is a really great piece of software!

Ok, I understand. I am rather a fan of Scott Meyers: Use const whenever
possible.

For caching and logging I typically use mutable, because from logical point
of view they still give the user constness.

I have to admit, however, that I never build such an advanced caching system
like cppcms has, it could be easily possible that you will get crazy when
you try to have more const methods ;)

Ok, so I will do that!
