If you're looking at the build stuff two things I've had to work around 
you might want to know about:

The patch for GNUmakefile in crypto51 doesn't work.  there's something 
broken about patch on my windows box: it barfs with 'Assertion failed: 
hunk, file patch.x, line 321'  I fixed my makefile manually and was ok 
from then on.

base32 doesn't get installed into the mnet dir.  the point where it's 
supposed to happens barfs with a 'No module named pyutil' error.  I 
tickled it manually from a bash shell with
.../mnet_new/build/base32]$ PYTHONPATH=../.. python setup.py install 
--install-lib=../..
and that worked.

I had a quick scan through the code, and since it seemed like none of 
the invocations was likely to produce long strings, I replaced snprintf 
with sprintf throughout fec.c, and it built fine.

And it runs!

I now have an mnet node producing volumes of spam to stdout. yay!  
(I've no idea whether it actually _works_ but it runs, and that's good 
enough for celebration in my book...)

cheers,
