problems when running the example for ssh wan optimization

[Juli Mallett]

Boxiang,

You will need to check out WANProxy trunk from Subversion rather than
using the 0.8.0 release if you want to use SSH optimization.  If you
could provide me with your configs and the exact commands you're
trying to run if you still having trouble after updating, I should be
able to give you more specific help with your other issues.

Thanks,
Juli.
