User-modifications are the first signs of a beginning fork. Why not a
6.01 release instead? 
Has anyone collected these user-mods into a combined patch?

How about reporting on compression ratios, browser language settings and
perhaps ssl settings?  
Maybe introducing autoconf into the build? (I think I did some work on
that already).  
Improved default config with common browsers and robots preconfigured. 

(personally I also think the config syntax and semantics could do with
an "upgrade").

A fork is not necessary, but as Stephen never did invite other
maintainers/developers, it seems to be only way forward.

PS: another key issue is that analogs popularity will decline the
more "mature" (read: stale) analog becomes.  New users tend not to opt
for software that has not been maintained for over 3 years.
