Changes:
ne2k-pci support was added. A small utility to
show memory is now available. Pointer related

AST delivery can deliver in user (outer) mode (but
this is not enabled by default). A workaround was
made for double ioc postiq insert. CMUIP and its
telnetd can now more often survive nmap -v -A -p
20-30.
