Actually droids is very hybrid ATM. The code [1] is very nice since this
part (till now) is grateful ignored by droids. I will incorporate it
ASAP.

Regarding [2] it is very interesting indeed for droids to become part of
HttpComponents. I want to rewrite the code to use spring instead of the
underlying slimed down version of nutch plugins infrastructure code to
make it more standard and understandable. 

After this rewrite I gladly see droids incubating with HttpComponents as
sponsor project.

Thanks Roland for the heads up.
