Plexus Version 3.0

Available from: ftp://austin.bsdi.com/plexus/3.0/Plexus-3.0.tar.Z

New features are:
* Better error reporting
* Multi-port daemon (can handle requests on multiple ports)
* Loadable access filters (&net_filter)
* Easy to configure local.conf file
* flock/fcntl locking switch in local.conf
* Better docs (see http://www.bsdi.com/server/doc/gateways.html)
* Single process
* Standalone or filter setext.pl
* Debug mode (-D outfile),
* New command line args:
  plexus [-c config] [-d topdir] [-i | -I sockfd] [-l log] [-p port] [-D diag]
* moved getuid/getgid before chroot() so you don't *have* to have local files
* plexus will now run from inetd or from the command line with -i option
* You can externally control the startup environment with -I option

The major change that gateway writers need to be aware of is that
$path is no longer "safe".  You can use &safeopen() (documented
in http://www.bsdi.com/server/doc/support.html#safeopen) to open
files based on that data.  There are also some new features for
dealing with querys (see http://www.bsdi.com/server/doc/gateways.html
and http://www.bsdi.com/server/search.pl).
