chain) loads much faster than before.
* Address search accepts an initial substring, still without storing
addresses in the database.
* FastCGI support has matured. See README-FASTCGI.txt for setup.
* Abe supports Weeds currency natively. Weeds info:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=24209.0
* The "datadir" configuration directive can add a new currency without
changes to Python code.
* "auto-agpl" provides a link to download the source directory: a
license compliance aid for those not wishing to use a Github fork.
* /chain/Bitcoin/q/getblockcount: first of (I hope) many
BBE-compatible APIs.
* Several small fixes and speedups.
