NuFW 1.1.0, the start of the new devel branch

This is the first public release of 1.1.x. A silent but important work has been done and differences with 1.0.x are huge.

The main functionnal differences are :
 nutrackd : a brand new daemon which is used to maintain SQL authenticated connection tracking. It needs 2.6.14 and the new libconntrack library.
 Multi modules support for nuauth : you can chain authentication or logging modules
 UDP support for libnuclient
 nufw : support for the new libnetfilter_queue library on 2.6.14 and over

Here’s the "full" changelog :
 full "a posteriori" IP authentication for mono user system via hello message system
 nufw : port to libnetfilter_queue
 NuFW : many small fixes in the debian/ subdir : start in correct runlevels, have smoother init scripts.
 nutcpc : add -l option to disable use of lock
 NuFW : all exchanges between clients and nuauth are now done in UTF-8 by default. Use —with-utf8 at configure time to select this behaviour on client side.
 plaintext module : cleaning and icmp support
 increase internal message usage instead of sending directly structure to queue.
 nufw : get rid fo old UDP protocol
 nuauth : fix double free problem linked with string_escape function
 libnuclient : new algo in push mode
 libnuclient : UDP support, need recent kernel
 nuauth : multi modules support
 nutrackd : brand new connection tracking system based on libconntrack
