looks good, however I'm still in temptation to try to use trees instead of
hashtables. the penalty in term of more CPU cycles to lookup entry is
acceptable,
since it solve many headaches curent users have with maintainance of hashtables.

I'll see how much time I'll will have over the summer and I'll try to hack some
existing implementation into IPF.
