Details:

I cant connect with fasttrack, and I'm examining why.

This is what I've found so far:

- mldonkey uses gift-fastrack encryption sources. according to
#gift-fasttrack, their program works, which means the error is in mldonkey.

- mldonkey has the latest gift-ft sources

- there are some asserts in mldonkey in check_primitives that gives rise to a
message when mldonkey starts ft:

        lprintf "The Fasttrack plugin will ¬ work on your computer,
since\n";                                                                    
                                                                              
                                                  

and so on. the first assert appears totaly broken, so this should be either
fixed or removed because its useless and gives wrong impression.

- the ft module tries to bootstrap from fm2.imesh.com. this is no longer a
valid node, as it seems, so this code could presumably be removed, or the
imesh hardcode replaced by an option maybe.

i tried replacing the imesh hardcode with that of a working node, and got
some promising traces

- the gift-ft wrappers do weird stuff, and it should be commented at least
