LOL. :-)  Well the Linux box doesn't have a screen :)

Yeah, I'm trying to minimise traffic here, and if the network can safely
assume a particular route is up, all the better.

Yes, it will be more useful for knowing where to route traffic destined for
distant nodes.  Local nodes have to be discovered.

Yes, but we want to take advantage of every opportunity that may arise for
minimising traffic and maximising efficiency. :)

Fair enuf.  Just saying _someone_ should think about porting to Win32, not
necessarily you. :)

Well, I'm not quite sure I support that approach, especially in light of
what you said below...

What are you in this for?  Greed doesn't catch my eye. ;-)
