Add oops 1.4.16, a www proxy server similar to squid but easier to configure,
threadsafe (can use more than one CPU), and faster (uses large files rather than many files). PR: 21318 Submitted by: Sergey Oskin <oZZ@FreeBSD.org.ru>

+Oops - caching proxy server.
+Oops! is a proxy server; the main aims of its development being
+stable operation, service speed, main protocols support,
+modularity, ease at use. What is one more server for when there is
+already Squid? I personally was not satisfied with Squid on some
+points, that is was why I wished to get rid of it. And that was done.
+
+Basic differences from Squid:
+Each request is served by a separate thread, which allows to use all
+available processors on multiprocessor machine.
+Cashed documents are stored in one or several big files. This makes
+it possible to remove from the operational system a load on operation
+with directories and to speed up access to the documents, and to use
+raw-devices as a storage of cashed objects either.
+The program modular structure provides extension of its function
+without any change of the source code.
+The special attention was paid to the point of providing a stable,
+continuous, unbreakable work, easy and simple
+configuration/reconfiguration. Thus, for example, the reconfiguration
+on the fly doesn't result in a breakaway of already established connections.
