[RFC] bump min serf version, or degrade? (was: svn commit: r1302682 ...)

Hey all,

With the change below, we can send all requests using Content-Length
rather than chunking. This is the core work for fixing issue 3979.

My question: should we simply bump the minimum serf to 1.1, or should
we just omit the Content-Length functionality? If the latter, then
users may run into 3979 if they have an older serf.

I'm thinking: bump our requirement. It will require packagers/distros
to get serf 1.1 packaged "soonish". (and no, it hasn't been released
yet)

Thoughts?

Cheers,
-g
