Differences between public and internal release

Pointcuts on global variable write disabled

This is supported in the internal release. But no serious test suite has been written yet.

Users of the public release are still required to use the run program (see the faq for what run does).

This is supported in the internal release. It has been routinely used with squid. Experiments with other applications are required.
