Hackers ChangeLog:
v0.8.7 -> v0.8.8
4th June, 1999

- increased MAX number of clients to 100
- layout and comments have been tidied up extensively throughout code
- new function in ctrlpacket.c for making Control Message headers
- openBSD fixes
- many other minor bug fixes
- some portability issues addressed
- accept() moved into pptpmanager.
- pptpmanager closes one side of socketpair server fd and passes client
fd
    other side of socketpair to pptpctrl.
- pptpmanager main loop changed to select without timeout and made to
    watch ALL appropriate file descriptors.
- also made resiliant against some potential error modes, eg, if we are
    full don't select on new connections descriptor, if accept() fails
    ignore it cleanly, etc.
- should be more 'resource friendly' now.
- Make error state filename instead of just CONFIG FILE: file not found.
- Limit packet size to PACKET_MAX instead of permitting 4 more if no ACK
    is bundled (for consistency of packet size limit).
