Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+Steve's quick list of things that need finishing off:
+[they are in no particular order and range from the trivial to the long winded]
+
+ o Proper timeouts on each neighbour (in routing mode) rather than
+ just the 60 second On-Ethernet cache value.
+
+ o Support for X.25 linklayer
+
+ o Support for DDCMP link layer
+
+ o The DDCMP device itself
+
+ o PPP support (rfc1762)
+
+ o Lots of testing with real applications
+
+ o Verify errors etc. against POSIX 1003.1g (draft)
+
+ o Using send/recvmsg() to get at connect/disconnect data (POSIX 1003.1g)
+ [maybe this should be done at socket level... the control data in the
+ send/recvmsg() calls should simply be a vector of set/getsockopt()
+ calls]
+
+ o check MSG_CTRUNC is set where it should be.
+
+ o Find all the commonality between DECnet and IPv4 routing code and extract
+ it into a small library of routines. [probably a project for 2.7.xx]
+
+ o Add perfect socket hashing - an idea suggested by Paul Koning. Currently
+ we have a half-way house scheme which seems to work reasonably well, but
+ the full scheme is still worth implementing, its not not top of my list
+ right now.
+
+ o Add session control message flow control
+
+ o Add NSP message flow control
+
+ o DECnet sendpages() function
+
+ o AIO for DECnet
+
