Remove man pages from tarball.
Since they are re-created at make install time anyway and help2man
is now considered a required tool for building paraslash, there is
no reason to ship the pre-generated man pages with the tarball. This
reduces the size of the tarball by about 2k.
Thanks to Johannes Wörner for pointing out this inconsistency.

REQUIREMENTS: Move help2man to the list of required software.
The man pages depend on the executables, i.e. make rebuilds a man page
whenever the corresponding executable changes. Therefore help2man is
required even when installing from tarballs.

Fix configure on Solaris.
Without this patch, configure fails on Solaris because it doesn't find
inet_ntoa() and socket(). These are in libnsl and libsocket
respectively, but AC_CHECK_FUNCS() doesn't know this.

No need to allocate additional memory. This saves a malloc/free

the case basename == NULL.

02_HTTP_access-list.diff
After adding IPv6 support the access list matching routine was left in
a broken state. This patch fixes the problem by continuing the support
for IPv4 address/netmask access lists.
The following problems are fixed:
* support for a server listening to both IPv6 (AF_INET6) and IPv4 (AF_INET)
address (since one can not assume that the server's address has AF_INET);
* explicit support for addresses in network-byte-order (without having to reverse
the netmask);
* a routine to extract v6-mapped IPv4 addresses ("::FFFF:x.x.x.x") for IPv4
clients connecting to a (dual-stack) IPv6 server.
When the access list is in use, the connection mode is automatically switched to
IPv4, i.e. IPv6 clients connecting to the server will be treated as if they were
in the deny-list.

01_DCCP_shutdown-unnecessary.diff
This calls shutdown(2) for unused communication paths in the DCCP sender/receiver:
* the sender does not read data from the client and so calls shutdown(SHUT_RD);
* the client does not send data to the server and so calls shutdown(SHUT_WR).
The advantage that this buys is a performance optimisation: using shutdown(2) in
DCCP means disabling the corresponding CCID kernel modules, which reduces the
processing costs, i.e.
* when using SHUT_RD, the receiver congestion-control module is de-activated;
* when using SHUT_WR, the sender congestion-control module is de-activated.

Replace eof by error in receivers/filters/writers.
This way it's possible to tell at a later time why
the receiver/filter/writer terminated.
This allows to increase the delay for reconnecting in case
the receiver failed to connect to para_server: Let the receivers
set the error value to -E_RECV_EOF in case a normal end of file
event occurred and check this value when calculating the restart
barrier.

03_TCP-socket-functions.diff
This converts the control connection and the HTTP streaming module to use the makesock() interface.
The specific changes are:
* replace tcp_connect() directly with makesock();
* replace tcp_listen() with para_listen() (in turn a wrapper around makesock());
* init_sockaddr() becomes obsolete;
* replaced use of sockaddr_in in para_accept() with NULL sockaddr argument
-- the `remote' name of the socket is always available via getpeername(2),
-- this is exploited by replacing the reverse-name lookup with remote_name();
* the sockaddr_in field `addr' of `struct http_client' has been replaced with `name' string
-- name is filled in as in para_accept() above, using remote_name(),
-- unlike above, the remote_fd() call can later not be done, due to close_listed_fds().
The one thing I am really not sure about is host_in_access_perm_list():
* It needed to be converted to allow address-independent HTTP streaming.
* The conversion represents the obvious choice for doing this.
* However, I have not (yet) tested it.
* A problem that may arise is that when listening using AF_UNSPEC then _all_ addresses appear
as IPv6 addresses (i.e. the test "family == AF_INET" would never hold true). In this case,
a possible solution is to switch between AF_UNSPEC and AF_INET dependint on whether the
configurable access-list is empty or non-empty, respectively.
* A possible place for this chance would be http_send_init() or any other function calling
open_tcp_port().

01_IPv6-Basic-Support.diff
This patch provides an algorithm which, given a hostname and a numeric port identifier,
will look up all matching IPv4/IPv6 addresses and either bind it (for passive sockets)
or connect to it (for active sockets).
Certain socket options need to be set before a connection is established. Since in
paraslash the demand for such options is not very big at this time, the only present
case (setting SO_REUSEADDR on passive sockets) has been integrated into the main loop.
A more sophisticated variant for setting pre-connection socket options exists and is
available as part of the DCCP library. The current solution is extensible, i.e. if one
wants to later add more options, the alternative (more sophisticated approach) can be
used. But for now, that would just have meant code bloat.
The subsequent patches in this set will step by step replace the old infrastructure
with the use of this algorithm.
