boost 6.x-1.01

Known Issues:
#591098: Multisite setup wont start - Multisite & single database.
#590704: I have no crawler action... - 6.14 is caching crawler requests if core cache enabled.

Notes:
Because of new menu changes, you need to press the Clear cached data button located on the "admin/settings/performance" page.

If your using the latest version of Authcache, there is a slight chance Boost will not work with it. To get around this issue, disable this setting in Boost:

admin/settings/performance/boost
Boost advanced settings
Asynchronous Opperation: output HTML, close connection, then store static file.
_{Run php in the background. When a cached page is generated, this will allow for faster page generation; downside is the headers are not the standard ones outputted by drupal; sends "Connection: close" instead of "Connection: Keep-Alive".}

I "borrowed" some code from authcache, so we now use the same output buffer hooking mechanism; Boost's is more "Aggressive" though. It sends the page to the browser & closes the connection, then saves it to the disk, allowing for a more responsive site when using boost. With this change, the end game has to be something like the proposed hook_alter_html module; one that all page caching modules can use; thus preventing interference, and improving performance when using multiple page caching solutions.

Bug Fixes:
#577578: boost_cron function failing, due to fsockopen() not respecting user given timeout value
#567748: Thread is dead logic timing out
#585204: Pressflow + Boost is caching 404 pages
#586700: Cron stopping with strange PHP error: Unknown Column
#587190: Boost must be enabled to run update #6109 (in 6.x-1.0-beta2 -> 6.x-1.0 upgrade path)
#585152: Exclude search404 page callback from being cached - Right now only search404_page is disabled from being cached; from the Search 404 module.

New Features:
#578546: Reset crawler
#585424: Faster page loads when adding page to cache; do async opp.
#586138: Split "Do not cache if error on page" into drupal msgs and php errors

Tasks:
#579668: 6.14 doesn't have css clearing bug anymore
#581320: Move the performance page
#582642: htaccess generator, Instruct user to save settings and return for rules
#587212: Boost Admin UI Revamp: meta-issue - More tweaks for where stuff is located; looking for ideas.
