History: when the emulator was first developed on OSX 10.4 (PowerPC),
the inline keyword was added by profiling with Apple's pretty
fantastic Shark profiler. Apple's version of gcc had an -fobey-inline
switch that the makefile used to force gcc to obey the inline keyword.
This macro does the same thing
37.5 Prime MIPS on Linode VM to 42.5 MIPS. gvp-> was faster on the
PowerPC architecture when gvp was kept in a dedicated register, but
that does not apply to Intel.

move loopback handling to pncxmit1 so it is used for broadcasts;
added reason to disconnects for better logging;
change some traces to prints for better logging;
my node is always authenticated
Linux holds onto connections until the uid is sent. Otherwise, the
delay between making a connection and sending the uid will be larger
than MAXACCCEPTTIME, causing large rings to fail
- decrement hoursleft on each boot to prevent running very short Prime
sessions that don't update the dongle; this allows removing of
dongle_dtime (the last time the dongle was updated)
- only uses 1 dongle location (for hoursleft)
- maintain a checksum on dongle values to detect tampering
- encrypt hoursleft and the dongle checksum
- write random values in all other dongle locations
- validate dongle by asking it to encrypt random values; this requires
that a copy of the dongle key is stored in the executable
- don't fail immediately: just set a status and keep going
- caller sets bad Prime keys and hands us the correct keys; we reset
Prime keys before returning. This makes it harder to bypass
security by not calling it at all.
