COSS (squidfs) inital code

Ok, I've been hammering at this for about a week, and just squashed the
last really obvious bug. So, at this point I'm making the code available
for anyone that wants to test or hack at it.

The README is attached. The code is available at ftp.packetstorm.on.ca in
/pub. The filename is squid-coss-<date>.tar.gz.

Please read the README before you go and download it.

I'll keep working away at it, and I'll put a new tarball up, probably not
daily, but whenever I make signifigant changes. If you fix any bugs, feel
free to send me the patch.

This code *should* be stable enough to run benchmarks on. I'm hoping
someone will do so. I'll be embarking on that myself in the next few days.

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, but there doesn't seem to be much
progress on the "official" squidfs, and I'm rather anxious to see squid
get better performance. The bakeoff results were somewhat disappointing.
