* Moved the current net's reseed URL to a different location than where
      the old net looks (dev.i2p.net/i2pdb2/ vs .../i2pdb/)
    * More aggressively expire inbound messages (on receive, not just on send)
    * Add in a hook for breaking backwards compatibility in the SSU wire
      protocol directly by including a version as part of the handshake.  The
      version is currently set to 0, however, so the wire protocol from this
      build is compatible with all earlier SSU implementations.
    * Increased the number of complete message readers, cutting down
      substantially on the delay processing inbound messages.
    * Delete the message history file on startup
    * Reworked the restart/shutdown display on the console (thanks bd_!)

The routerconsole application is an embedable web server / servlet container.
In it there is a bundled routerconsole.war containing JSPs (per jsp/*) that
implement a web based control panel for the router.  This console gives the user
a quick view into how their router is operating and exposes some pages to 
configure it.

The web server itself is Jetty [1] and is contained within the various jar files
under lib/.  To embed this web server and the included router console, the 
startRouter script needs to be updated to include those jar files in the 
class path, plus the router.config needs appropriate entries to start up the
server:

  clientApp.3.main=net.i2p.router.web.RouterConsoleRunner
  clientApp.3.name=webConsole
  clientApp.3.args=7657 0.0.0.0 ./webapps/

That instructs the router to fire up the webserver listening on port 7657 on
all of its interfaces (0.0.0.0), loading up any .war files under the ./webapps/
directory.  The RouterConsoleRunner itself configures the Jetty server to give
the ./webapps/routerconsole.war control over the root context, directing a
request to http://localhost:7657/index.jsp to the routerconsole.war's index.jsp.
Any other .war file will be mounted under their filename's context (e.g. 
myi2p.war would be reachable at http://localhost:7657/myi2p/index.jsp).
