OK in previous discussions I was under the impression that X- is the
standard way to do it.  Sounds like it is? but if it becomes a
standard/ratified header you can remove the X-.

In the interests of making that work if that happens at some point I
will make the next version accept but not generate Hashcash, and
generate X-Hashcash.  That way if at some point it changes, we'll have
less backwards compatibility issues without having to include the
header 2x once as X-Hashcash and once as Hashcash.
