Revision: 6311

* New upstream release (Closes: #496067). This upload covers the changes of
  mod-wsgi 2.2 and 2.3.
  mod-wsgi 2.2 is mainly bugfix-releases. The only exception is a backport
  of one function from 3.0 which allows the setting of process names on *BSD
  - this does not affect Linux.
  mod-wsgi 2.3 fixes a regression which was introduces in 2.2.
  
  Here follows a list of the bugfixes in 2.2:
    1. Fix bug whereby if mod_python is loaded at same time as mod_wsgi the
       WSGIImportScript directive can cause Apache child processes to crash.
       For details see: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=91
    2. Fix bug where mod_wsgi daemon process startup could fail due to old
       stale UNIX listener socket file as described in:
       http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=77 
    3. Fix bug where listener socket file descriptors for daemon processes
       were being leaked in Apache parent process on a graceful restart.
       Also fixes problem where UNIX listener socket was left in filesystem
       on both graceful restart and graceful shutdown. For details see:
       http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=95 
    4. Fix bug where response was truncated when a null character appeared
       as first character in block of data being returned from
       wsgi.file_wrapper.
       Only occurred when code fell back to using iteration over supplied
       file like object, rather than optimised method such as sendfile().
       http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/issues/detail?id=100
  The following regressions/bugs of 2.2 were fixed in 2.3:
    1. Fixed problem introduced in version 2.2 of mod_wsgi whereby use of
       daemon mode would cause CGI scripts to fail. It is quite possible
       that the bug could also have caused failures with other Apache
       modules that relied on registering of cleanup functions against
       Apache configuration memory pool.
    2. (does not affect Linux)
       When using setproctitle() on BSD systems, first argument should be
       a printf style format string with values to fill out per format as
       additional arguments. Code was supplying value to be displayed as
       format string which meant that if it contained any printf type format
       sequences, could cause process to crash as corresponding arguments
       wouldn't have ben provided.
