(1) p. 71 of the Programmer's Manual points out that all server processes 
screetch to a halt while the server resolves the host name of incoming 
connections, and that this is done purely for human convenience in 
reading the log.
  Could this be turned into a compile time option
(RESOLVE_INCOMING_CONNS or something)?  It would be nice to turn off, 
especially for web serving.

(2) This has been suggested before, but can we finally expunge all 
remaining vestiges of "player" from the server (replacing it with "user")?  
Dave Van Buren and I hacked this out this morning and it was pretty 
easy (not worrying about backwards compatibility; keeping backwards 
compatibility requires adding a slot in the built-in table in 
sym_table.c)



Thanks,
