Status of Multicasting

So the multicasting feature of Chungles is nearing its finish. I now have an implementation in subversion. It transmits all packets via multicast/udp first, then tells the main chungles server to listen for connections for 30 seconds. The client will go through and retrieve packets regardless of the order they come in and write to the file in their multicast share folder. After retrieving through multicast/udp, it opens a connection to the host's tcp server and requests the missed packets. Upon completion, it will send the UI a notification of whether it was successful or timed out.

In the process of adding to the preferences, I have fixed some little display issues. The text box was too small, and the Ok/Cancel buttons were a little whacky. I'm going to try and add some refresh features and do some UI tweaking, maybe make a 0.2.1 release.
