Florian et al,

I am finishing up testing on my updates to the caching code.  I'll
probably release it this weekend after some more testing.

I'd like to change rrdc_connect() to a no-op if the daemon address is
NULL.  This will clean up the options processing and connection setup code
quite a bit.

Currently, a NULL argument will cause it to connect to
RRDCACHED_DEFAULT_ADDRESS.  However, the daemon is NOT enabled by
default..  rrdc_connect() is only called if there is a daemon address
specified on command line or in the environment.

There are no cases in the existing code where we pass a NULL; this would
only affect other things outside RRD code that link against librrd.

If there is no opposition, I will move forward with this last bit of
cleanup.
