Phew, it has been a long and hard week trying to track down the memory
leak in AxKit. Members of AxKit-devel got all the gory details so I won't
go into them here, but needless to say the leak is gone.
AxKit 0.99 isn't much of a huge change from 0.99pre1 to the user. It
renames some of the PerlSetVar directives to have Ax prefixes, and thats
about it. It should also share a lot more memory, as I try and load some
things in the parent process that can be shared among the children
now. This brings memory consumption down about 1M per httpd child!
And it also introduces a single code-point for providing an output
filter. This was done primarily for Owen and pdaverticals, but ultimately
it will be useful for other things too.

Also available on CPAN now (I didn't want to upload prior versions as they
had deficiencies, IMHO, but this one is getting pretty close to 1.0).
