[coldsync-hackers] New snapshot: 2.2.0

[Andrew Arensburger <arensb+CShackers@ooblick.com>]

	I've uploaded a new ColdSync snapshot, version 2.2.0:
http://www.ooblick.com/software/coldsync/coldsync-2.2.0-20010730.tar.gz

	The main difference between this snapshot and previous
versions is that "hardware" protocols (serial, usb) are separated from
"software" protocols (DLP+PADP+SLP, DLP+netsync, etc). You can specify
the "software" protocol either with a "protocol:" line in a listen{}
block, or with the "-P" command-line option. Valid protocols currently
include
	"default"	Whatever the "hardware" protocol wants
	"full"		DLP->PADP->SLP
	"simple"	DLP->netsync (without header)
	"m50x"		Synonym for "simple"
	"net"		DLP->netsync (with header)

	Since this snapshot includes Koen Deforche's m50x patch, you
can still use

	listen usb_m50x { ... }

This is (or should be) equivalent to

	listen serial {
		protocol: m50x;
	}

The latter is the preferred version. I'd like to drop the "listen
usb_m50x{}" syntax by the next stable version.

	It should also be possible to sync a m50* under FreeBSD with

	listen usb {
		protocol: m50x;
	}

	I'd like to thank Koen Deforche and Mike Durian for their
contributions.

	Question for Koen: if I'm reading your code correctly, the
m50x protocol is exactly the same as the netsync protocol, except that
the first ritual packet doesn't have the header. Is this correct? If
so, this seems rather odd.
