Hi Andrew,

As long as you mention issues in acl plugin, I found something strange in
bihash_40_8.h: there is no definition of BIHASH_KVP_CACHE_SIZE. So when you
get to bihash_template.h, that will be obtaining BIHASH_KVP_CACHE_SIZE from
whatever bihash_x_y.h happens to be last in the included header files. I
don't know the operational ramifications, but it is not pretty to look at!
Can you confirm my observation? I am looking at master.
