-Junkbusters Corporation. Development of this effort stopped some time ago as of
-version 2.0.2. Stefan Waldherr started the ijbswa project on Sourceforge to
-rekindle development. Other developers subsequently joined with Stefan, and
-have since added many new features, refinements and enhancements. The result of
-this effort is Privoxy.
