r8838@totoro: nickm | 2006-10-02 15:24:39 -0400

 Partial implementation of revised nickname syntax for controllers.  Implement ability to look up routers by "verbose" nicknames; add a per-v1-control-connection flag to turn the feature on in events.  Needs testing, spec, ability to actually turn on the flag, double-checking that we wont overflow any nickname buffers, and changelog.
