libnodelay - LD_PRELOAD library to disable Nagle's algorithm

If you're tired of digging through a mess of code and confusing/obscure configuration options, you should LD_PRELOAD this library instead.

Disabling Nagle's algorithm can result in a performance improvement for latency-sensitive applications that use TCP.
