Yes, this one was mine, off 0.09 vanilla code. Unless bbackupd state object structure has changed
in the new trunk, it should work out of the box.

Yes, this one was also mine off 0.09, but it will most likely not fit into the new distribution
as-is. The part about the KeepAlive() client/server command is easy, but interrupting the diffing
process and calling the command is another story - it will need a rework of the engine loop
itself.
