Chungles status update

So after countless hours of banging my head around tinkering with JmDNS, I finally got node discovery finished and spiffy. It needs some touch ups with naming and description, but that's small stuff. Chungles now binds to all network interfaces your computer has excluding loopback adapters.

Also, I have decided not to use JmDNS 1.0 RC2 for the mDNS library and instead downgraded it to 0.2. While 0.2 lacks some minor features of 1.0, it is a lot faster and stabler and stuff just plain works with it :P. There's also a couple of known bugs that need to be fixed. At shutdown JmDNS throws an exception and sometimes when nodes remove from the network the JmDNS timer thread throws exceptions. These do not really mess up the program but do need to be addressed. I might end up going through JmDNS source and patching up a few things.

Finally, I now have sourceforge hosting. It would be nice if someone would donate a web design for it. The code with working node discovery is now in cvs. Details for cvs access available at the sourceforge page.
