* Don't hardcode PREFIX nor PKG_SYSCONFDIR;
* Add a configtest() function to test the configuration file before restart
so lazy SysOps (me) don't have to remember command arguments;

availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based
applications. It is particularly suited for web sites crawling under
very high loads while needing persistence or Layer7 processing.
Supporting tens of thousands of connections is clearly realistic with
todays hardware.
