Thanks; I'll merge some ovious parts right now, and the more
'complicated' ones after the next upload on friday night, to have them

some comments to some of your changes:

would be even wrong on all non-windows machines.

the whole network thing is still a big ugly mess, i don't think we
should add a new 'netconfig=' thing, but fix the 'ip=' thing.
more about the other stuff later and thanks for your work!
