[Click] 1.6.0 release

[Eddie Kohler]

Jason,

Cool, but I think it would be better for us to just make click_qsort not 
break the kernel stack, rather than move to insertion sort.  So I coded 
up an iterative version of click_qsort.  It appears to work, although I 
haven't tested it too much.  Give the anoncvs an update and let me know 
if you see any problems.
