INN 2.7.1 release candidate

Hi Dominik,

Thanks for your message!
I'll mention it in the release process so as not to do that again.  I 
understand your point.

That bump was caused because of two very minor changes in libinn:
- InitializeMessageIDcclass() no longer accessible outside
lib/messageid.c;
- daemonize() removed to use instead the system daemon(3) function when 
available (a replacement is otherwise provided).

These changes could have waited for INN 2.8.0 or I could have added a 
dumb wrapper to the two removed functions, which would have saved that 
SONAME bump.

Good luck!
I hope you won't encounter any problem for the packaging process.
