Thanks for getting the review process started :)

Right.

Changed (see end of email).

I originally had this to switch between neon and serf libraries. It
seems that this is no more necessary.

Good question. I copied this out from some legacy code in the
Subversion trunk. Additionally, since I don't have a working copy,
this is completely unnecessary. Removed now.

Fixed.

I've filled in the function in a future patch. It's just to say that
I'm "opening a connection and then calling replay_range, in that
order". Yes, replay_range does nothing in this patch.

Exactly. I built up the patches so that at every stage, the program
compiles and runs fine, implementing part of full functionality.
