Right now we spend CPU&RAM to keep the built hash-string around, in case
we want to hit it with purge_hash later on.

purge_hash was made so that you could purge content on a particular
vhost without affecting other vhosts, but due to the wierd syntax,
it is not very convenient for this purpose.

The proposed change is to add a new purge primitive that takes a
list of (header, regexp) pairs, for instance:

	purge Host host3 URL "\.jpg$"

But once you think about it, you can do really wierd things:

	purge STATUS 404

	purge Set-Cookie "USER=9348395"

Comments welcome...
