Log Message:
Updated package to newest version, 4.0.4. Changes include:
        * GnuTLS: compatibility with GnuTLS-3.4.2
        * Nethttpd_plex: the post_add_hook was not called by accident
          (since OCamlnet-4); this is now fixed.
        * Nethtml: new option case_sensitive
        * GnuTLS: initializing the library on-demand. This avoids that
          /dev/random is kept open all the time since program start, and
          works around incompatibilities with Netplex. (Thomas Calderon
          found the problem.)
        * GnuTLS: setting DH parameters on certificates (this was forgotten in
          previous releases). (Thomas Calderon found the problem.)
        * GnuTLS: supporting GnuTLS versions where SRP is disabled.
          Supporting GnuTLS-3.4.
        * OpenBSD build: fix linker option (Christopher Zimmermann)
        * Equeue: There is a new method request_proxy_notification,
          which is only used by Uq_engines.qseq_engine (but unfortunately
          needs to appear in the public type of the object). This new
          method permits that chains of Uq_engines.qseq_engine pairs
          can now be arbitrarily long without consuming too much memory
          and without the danger of getting stack overflows.

          This fixes issues where notification chains got too long. In
          particular, we saw a stack overflow when retrieving a video
          stream via HTTP. The stream was sent with many chunks, resulting
          in a long Uq_engines.qseq_engine chain.

          Implementers of engines can simply define request_proxy_notification
          as no-ops.
        * Nethttp.set_content_range: this function generated an incorrect
          header (the "bytes" word was missing). (Török Edwin)
        * _oasis is generated from _oasis.in
        * Netplex: the Netplex socket directory has a different default
          if not specified in the config file.
        * Netshm: the POSIX specifier has now two args
        * IPv6: automatically enabled if there is a global IPv6 address
  * Unicode tables: Moved them to a separate netunidata library.
          This library needs to be linked in for getting access to the
          tables (this is no longer the default).
        * Renamings: Http_client, Ftp_client etc. => Nethttp_client,
          Netftp_client
    Mimestring => Netmime_string
          Xdr => Netxdr
        * Netmime: moved functions to Netmime_header and Netmime_channels
  * Netmech_scram: Removed the check that passwords only consist of
          ASCII chars. The user can now call Netsaslprep.saslprep.
  * Removed: rpc-auth-dh, nethttpd-for-netcgi2
        * Http_client: the authentication mechanisms are now encapsulated
          in a first-class module HTTP_MECHANISM. So far, there is Digest
          authentication in this form. The signature of HTTP_MECHANISM
          is similar to SASL_MECHANISM.

          Another visible change is that the insecure Basic authentication
          is no longer enabled for non-TLS-secured connections. This can be
          changed back by setting flags, though.

          Some fixes in the design improve Digest authentication for proxy
          connections.
        * Netpop: implementating SASL authentication for POP3. Moved Netpop
          into netclient.
        * Netsmtp: implementing SASL authentication for SMTP. Moved Netsmtp
          into netclient.
        * Adding a framework for SASL, and a number of mechanisms
          (PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA1).
        * fcgi/scgi/ajp connectors: exporting a handle_connection function,
          and unifying existing such functions (Christopher Zimmermann)
  * adding support for modular cryptography (symmetric ciphers and
          digests)
        * SCRAM is now implemented with the new crypto providers
        * removing dependency on Cryptokit
        * removed library netgssapi; now part of netsys/netstring
        * removed library netmech-scram; now part of netstring
Ocamlnet-4 adds:
        - new library netgss-system
        - new library nettls-gnutls
        - removed equeue-ssl and rpc-ssl
        - X.500 modules Netasn1, Netdn, Netx509
        - Crypto definitions Netsys_crypto_types, Netsys_crypto
        - TLS modules Netsys_tls, Nettls_support
        - Support for SASL and GSSAPI
        - Moved many functions from Uq_engines to new modules in
          the equeue library (Uq_client, Uq_server, Uq_multiplex,
          Uq_transfer)
