The 'Contributor of the Month' award goes to Mark Bergsma who has responded to our plea for help with the label compressor and contributed
a wonderfully simple and right fix that allows PDNS to compress just as well as Other namerervers out there. An honorary mention goes to
Ueli Heuer who, despite having no C++ experience, submitted an excellent SRV record implementation.

+ Excellent work was also performed by Michel Stol, the Windows guy, in fixing all our non-portable stuff again. Christof Meerwald has also done
+ wonderful work in porting MTasker to Windows, which was then used by Michel to get the recursor functioning on Windows.
