    [greg-dev] Link prefetching

    Didier, I was under the impression your prefetching issues were
    related to the google web-accelerator gizmo, am I wrong?
    
    Sameer, a prefetching feature sounds like a good idea, definitely to
    be implemented via a plugin, and turned off by default if we decide to
    put it in the default distribution, though.
