It is almost sync'ed up (apart from "scalability enhancements") but I
somehow missed this part. Currently, I'm completely occupied with
final exams due next week. So, please be patient.

I plan to completely discard scalability part and solve outstanding
crash reports (http://code.google.com/p/compcache/issues/list) once
this school overhead is over.

Thanks,
Nitin
