cowdancer allows copy-on-write file access. You can copy a full tree
using hard links, and cowdancer will create a new copy when you need to
write to a file. It's completely implemented in userland, and should run
on most Linux filesystems.

This release fixes a problem found during stress testing. It changes the order of copying for the case when /lib/ld.so binary is written to; shared binaries cannot be forked/exec'd while ld.so does not exist.
Speed improvements were made. The binary ilist is saved in cow-shell and loaded mmap in cowdancer. The ilist is now also sorted. The code is now a bit more thread-safe.
