commit 997f779a7f05540e5f564b4d121706c4a7069fb2
Author: Matthew Finkel <Matthew.Finkel at gmail.com>
Date:   Sun Feb 8 06:51:51 2015 +0000

    Add new DirCache configuration option
    
    This will give relay operators the ability of disabling the caching of
    directory data. In general, this should not be necessary, but on some
    lower-resource systems it may beneficial.
