This introduces CNetAddr and CService, respectively wrapping an
(IPv6) IP address and an IP+port combination. This functionality used
to be part of CAddress, which also contains network flags and
connection attempt information. These extra fields are however not
always necessary.
These classes, along with logic for creating connections and doing
name lookups, are moved to netbase.{h,cpp}, which does not depend on
headers.h.
Furthermore, CNetAddr is mostly IPv6-ready, though IPv6
functionality is not yet enabled for the application itself.
Remembering all time samples makes nTimeOffset slow to respond to
system clock corrections. For instance, I start my node with a system
clock that's 30 minutes slow and run it for a few days. During that
time, I accumulate 10,000 offset samples with a median of 1800
seconds. Now I correct my system clock. Without this change, my node
must collect another 10,000 samples before nTimeOffset is correct
again. With this change, I must only accumulate 100 samples to
correct the offset.
Storing unlimited time samples also allows an attacker with many IP
addresses (ex, a large botnet) to perform a memory exhaustion attack
against Bitcoin nodes. The attacker sends a version message from each
IP to his target, consuming more of the target's memory each time.
Time samples are small, so this attack might be impractical under the
old code, but it's impossible with the new code.
SecureString is identical to std::string except with secure_allocator
substituting for std::allocator. This makes casting between them
impossible, so converting between the two at API boundaries requires
calling ::c_str() for now.
Replaced all occurrences of #if* __WXMSW__ with WIN32,
and all occurrences of __WXMAC_OSX__ with MAC_OSX, and made
sure those are defined appropriately in the makefile and bitcoin-qt.pro.
This replaces the openssl-based base64 encoder and decoder with a more
efficient internal one. Tested against the rfc4648 test vectors.
Decoder is based on JoelKatz' version.
Makefiles now build bitcoind only.
qmake/make in top-level directory is used to build Bitcoin QT
Deleted almost all #ifdef GUI from the code (left one possibly controversial one)
Deleted xpm/ files.
util.h doesn't use REF, serialize.h does, creating a dependency of
serialize.h on util.h, but util.h already depends on serialize.h. To
resolve this circular dependency the function 'REF' has now been moved
closer to one of its two points of use.

In the assert()s take advantage of the fact that string constants
("string") are effectively of type 'const char []', which when used in
an expression yield a non-NULL pointer.
An assertion that should always fail can thus be formulated as:
assert(!"fail);
An assertion where a text message should be added to the expression can
be written as such:
assert("message" && expression);

Use non-blocking connects, and a select() call to wait a predefined
time (5s by default, but configurable with -timeout) for either
success or failure. This allows much more connections to be tried
per time unit.
Based on a patch by phantomcircuit.
there is no internal modification of any file in this commit
files are moved into directories according to established standards in
sourcecode distribution; these directories contain:
src - Files that are used in constructing the executable binaries,
but are not installed.
doc - Files in HTML and text format that document usage, quirks of
the implementation, and contributor checklists.
locale - Files that contain human language translation of strings
used in the program
contrib - Files contributed from distributions or other third party
implementing scripts and auxiliary programs
