+Sat Jun  5 18:08:39 CEST 2010
+        Added support for UNIX domain sockets, code also defaults to
+        them when available.

 Sun May  2 13:49:10 CEST 2010
         Fixed problem with platform-dependence of format for IP addresses
         in HELLOs for TCP and UDP transport.

   - better crash management (attach debugging support, capture and analyze
     debug output, detect random vs. deterministic crashes)
   - discover dependencies between services
-    => need UNIX domain sockets first!
   - handle gnunet-arm -k in combination with auto-start magic (what is the right thing here?)
+  - add listen socket forwarding to child processes on supported platforms
 * FS: [CG]
   - datastore reservation (publishing)
   - location URIs (publish, search, download)
