There are a couple of new sfcb.cfg properties: sslDhParamsFilePath
supports the use of an external Diffie Hellman (DH) parameters file, and
sslEcDhCurveName allows the user to set the "curve name" for Elliptic
Curve Diffie Hellman (ECDH) key generation.  These options can be used
with openssl cipher suites supporting "ephemeral" Diffie Hellman (DHE) key
exchange algorithms.  Ephemeral key exchange enhances security by
decoupling the private key used to generate the session key, from the
private key associated with the server certificate.  This provides
"forward secrecy" while maintaining a key exchange algorithm compatible
with a conventional RSA-based server certificate.  See the .cfg file
comments for more info.

Perhaps the most fun new feature is SFCB_LABELPROCS.  This will label each
SFCB process by adding some identifying information to the cmdline so that
it appears in 'ps' output.  This provides an easy way to identify each
running SFCB process without having to rely on the "sfcb-ps.sh" or
"sfcbproc" utilities.  This really enhances visibility and is a great
troubleshooting tool.

Further, when using the ps command's -T or H options, you can see a
labeled view with thread-level granularity, which is something you can't
really do with "sfcb-ps.sh" or "sfcbproc".  (Individual threads are not
labeled per se; that is, each thread of a process has the same label.  But
you can easily see which threads belong to which process, and you can see
the individual thread ids for each.)

For example, before starting sfcb:

$ export SFCB_LABELPROCS=100

Get a view of running sfcb processes:

$ watch 'ps -efT H | grep sfcb[d]'

Thanks to all who contributed to this release, especially Chris who fixed
up the SFCC issues and Klaus Kampf who made a big contribution to
LABELPROCS.
