It's possibly one of my least favourite South Park-isms, I don't know
why I keep using it. M'kay!

There's still a fair bit of 49152 work left, and as I pull *spaz,
bliz*, and bob* off that range, it'll last even longer. So there's
no need to worry about doing anything for a while. I just wanted
everyone warned well in advance.

However, when the time comes, you'll need a new executable (with
libraries, I shall tgz them together) and a new client script (almost
identical to the old one). The .cfg file is almost identical, but I
shall be moving the service onto a different server, so you'll need
to change only two lines in total (server, and exponent).

It'll hopefully all be blindingly obvious to those familiar with the
current setup.

If people are exceptionally keen, then I can let them join the
98304 push early, maybe in a few weeks after the client/server
setup has been tested. However, there must be disclaimer that
you might be entirely wasting your time. (I can't believe I even
managed to get the program to build, I had to reverse-engineer
non-existant interfaces, so I have very little faith in the
executable!)
