 * available two cases where this framing is used: either by explitely
 * specifying it in the config file or implicitely when sending a compressed
 * message. In the later case, compressed and uncompressed messages within
 * the same session have different framings. If it is explicitely set to
 * octet-counting, only this framing mode is used within the session.

 * This function is now expected to stay. Libloging won't be used for

 * may be NULs inside msg so that we can not rely on strlen(). Please note
 * that the restrictions outlined above do not existin in multi-threaded
 * mode, which we assume will now be most often used. So there is no
 * real issue with the potential message loss in single-threaded builds.
 * rgerhards, 2006-11-30
 * I greatly restructured the function to be more generic and work
 * with function pointers. So it now can be used with any type of transport,
 * as long as it follows stream semantics. This was initially done to 
 * support plain TCP and GSS via common code.
