Hi All,

Forban 0.0.32 will be released in the next days. This version includes the commits to make Forban
working on low-end hardware (like OpenWRT) and especially on the PirateBox.

Here is the major updates:

 - Now there is an additional factor to rebuild the index and make it independent from the announce interval.
   This permits to avoid large sequential read on the filesystem when rebuilding the index too often.
   It seems that for OpenWRT boxes, an announce interval of 60 seconds with a rebuild factor of 5 is fine.

- Now the index building is now following symbolic links. To allow the share directory and its sub-directories to be
  located at different places.

- Other minor fixes added like a cleanup start-up and some other fixes.

Thanks to Matthias Strubel for his PirateBox package for Forban and his testing effort.
