2,8010,463 imp: all: client always fetches the largest packet possible and then splits it locally into sub-packets. Greatly improves network throughput and reduces server load.

fix: linux/x86: resoloved various dns lookup, lib and portability issues by building against static libc5 client runs on all eleven kernels, 2.0.x – 2.4.x-preX

fix: win32: .462 client was taking long to shutdown.
