I completed the work to get tipxd configured. It now reads all the records, creates the appropriate data structures, and spits them to the logfile. As soon as I get it listening on the local interfaces for traffic, I'll package a Developer Alpha for people to start testing.

I did some commits tonight to read the PEER and ROUTER records from the configuration file. They seem to work with the "proper" file, though I am not sure how they will react to an improper one. I hope it exits gracefully with an informative error in most, if not all, cases.

I completed the configuration file format specification and commited the changes to the repository. etc/tipxd.conf has changed to be more consistent, and the documentation is in LaTeX format in doc/config.tex.

I imported the intial sources to tipxd today. It does very basic things, like compile and process command-line options (with popt). It's not very impressive, but it's something to start from.
