In that sense, all the stuff I've been doing in 1.1 are really bug
fixes.  I can rationalize too, check this out:   :-)

It started out with the squid authorization modules not working.
(because they were not being compiled).  Then I tried the yp_auth module
and it didn't run because it needed ypbind to be running.  So I added
ypbind, but it wouldn't compile without yp-tools, so I added it.  Then
ypbind didn't run because it needed the RPC portmapper.  So I added the
portmapper, but it wouldn't compile because it needed tcp_wrappers, so I
added it ...  (talk about dependency hell! :)

You see, all one big BUG FIX!!!    ;-)
(and the most amazing thing is it even works!)
Feel free to back port the changes to 1.0!  (or not :)

BTW, while I was adding all the NIS crap, I also added ypserv so it's
all there, also a bug fix since we don't want only part of the yp crap.

And I also wrote some enhancements to yp_auth.c, now a patch on DL.
(I'll spare you the details unless you really want to hear about it)
Maybe I should submit that patch to the squid people ...
