Ok, this took a bit longer than I thought and I am not finished yet.
When doing this I noticed some fundamental problems with the gzip
handling. In theory it was badly broken, in practice it works quite
well. Anyway I am almost done with a full rewrite of the gzip handling
and in this I have also added the possibility to unpack + filter + pack
content.

I have changed lots of stuff in filtering and gzipping so please tell me
what works and what does not work (but note that it is known to break
on some sites).

Apart from that I have also changed the config file to accept id:s for
the handlers:
image/gif=rabbit.handler.ImageHandler*gif
....
[rabbit.handler.ImageHandler*gif]

So now it is possible to call image conversion depending on mime type
(or filtering html based on encoding or...).

There is a new 3.6 pre release available. It seems to hang on quite a
few sites so do not use it for production yet.

Another thing to notice: rabbit on java/6-rc + linux/2.6.x does not work 
well, the nio based selector has been upgraded to a more scalable, but 
still buggy, one:

Will hopefully be resolved before java/6 is released.

Have fun!
