yep, this is the clean solution - i've added your patches and have
uploaded the -H8 kernel and the tux-2.0.11.tar.gz tarball - let me know if
there is any problem with it on Alpha. It works just fine on x86.

another addition in -H8/2.0.11 is "Referer:" logging, it can be enabled
via /proc/sys/net/tux/referer_logging (default off), and will be
automatically printed by tux2w3c if the referer entry is present.
