Skiplist / best practice for 2.1 branch

[Tarjei Huse]

FYI: I use RH8.0 now (basicly had a window for uppgrading the server and
wanted to stay up to date on RH). It worked ok for me. The only problems
were that I'm missing the cyrus-Sasl-ldap plugin and some db3 trouble on
the db. 

It worked ok the minute I managed to get tls right, ficed the db hashing
and used skiplist for all dbs :)
