Maybe it's related or not. In January I removed some code which I deemed to be
outdated. That is sending SHA-1 hashes in ASCII form instead of binary form
using GGEP H. I realized that there were a lot of requests by filename from
LimeWire recently. Thus I looked at LimeWire's code and found out that they do
not handle GGEP H at all.

In fact, some time ago I noticed that gtk-gnutella seems to be the only
software using it albeit it saves a bit of bandwidth and is easier to handle
than a mix of GGEP and non-GGEP extensions.

Anyway, this is fixed again in the current revision.
