Hmm.  According to the mldonkey website, it is "The p2p client for
Linux/Unix/Windows!".

Can you point me to some documentation of the multiuser functionality?

Right, it seems to depend on the system.  But upstream doesn't recommend running
`make utils opt', they recommend running just `make', so it seems senseless to
