Combine this with node handshaking passing their protocol versions back
and forth and you have a freenet node that can get equal-protocol-speaking
nodes from inform.php and can choose not to talk to other nodes that don't
speak a compatible language. That would make it so that any number of
parallel freenets could be running without entangling one another.

I have been stuck running 0.2 due to compilation errors and lack of other
nodes to talk to and would like to run a little more up to date node to help
provide a more realistic debugging environment for developers. This might
prove useful for that.
