The Grocery List

1. One communications library, to handle everything to do with bits and sockets...
2. One threading library, One multi-process library.
3. One database server and a matching database client library.
4. One LDAP-aware library (to access the active directory server).
5. A configuration-files library (to store configuration data locally, so the appliance could start even if the active directory server is unreachable).
6. A DNS server whose source we could easily tweak (to allow exposing the proxied services under the original server names).
7. A process-manager (to manage process launching, etc).
8. A standard general-purpose compression library (to add on top of our adaptive compression).
