Hai!

If Perlbal is going to run on a low-numbered port, e.g. 80, it's nice to be able to grab that port as root and then drop to a non-root user.

This is from xantus' code at
http://svn.cometd.org/branches/cometd1/cometd-perl/perlbal. From their license page "Dojo is available under either the terms of the modified BSD license or the Academic Free License version 2.1. " http://dojotoolkit.org/license

We're using it, I thought it might be helpful to others to push back upstream.

--Merry Christmas!
