xMule 1.6.0

Vom eDonkey Clienten xMule ist die Version 1.6.0 erschienen, ältere Versionen sollten nicht mehr benutzt werden.

Highlights:
* Categories implemented.
* Much better No Needed/High Queue Ranking sources handling
* Shared files loading made 30x faster, now supports thousands of files.
* Numerous possible security exploits fixed.
* Generally, code is a lot clearner now.
* Enhanced OS support: NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris.
* New Extended Options:
* Various A4AF functionality,
* Drop No Needed Sources,
* Drop High QR Sources,
* Drop Full Queue Sources.

malware's contributions:
* Speed up the initial sharing by making KnowFileList a hash map.
* Remove the assign to category context menu entry only if it was
already there.
* Reimplemented hashing thread.
* Removed unused locks. As the NetBSD team pointed out they are
causing problems on their system because it does core dump on
unlocking a mutex that was not locked.
* Made the title for systray the same as for the main dialog.
* Never share a file twice.
* Fixed endless loop in sending UDP packets.
* Fixed a possibly exploitable bug as noticed by S. Esser from e-matters.
* Fixed new downloads assigned to random category.
* Check size of OP_SERVERSTATUS packet more strictly.
* Make xmule not to send the MOD_VERSION information. This does avoid a
problem with the LSD mod and other xmules.
* Removed memory leak from hashing thread.
* Minor fixes of problems detected by valgrind, mostly uninitialized
variables.

Un-Thesis' contributions:
* Implemented better GTK2 checks based on NetBSD team's and a Solaris user's
input
* Converted embedded XPMs to PNGs and JPEGs for better memory usage.
* FIXED: several bugs inherent in the source from previous devs/projects.
* FIXED: several memory leaks.
* Started refactoring the sourcecode.
* Got his own connection shut down by MPAA on 19 Aug
* Bringing website back to live.
* Kept xMule alive.

NetBSD team's contributions:
* Fixed bug with the mutex protecting calls to gethostbyname.
* Try to increase some resource limitation to the permitted maximum
