Of course people still "can" distributed the sources under the
LGPLv3. However we provide COPYING.LESSER with additional grants.
Solution: specify these grants in the header of each source file.
Copyrights had become ads for Sustrik's corporate sponsors, going against the original
agreement to share copyrights with the community (that agreement was: one line stating
iMatix copyright + one reference to AUTHORS file). The proliferation of corporate ads
is also unfair to the many individual authors. I've removed ALL corporate title from
the source files so the copyright statements can now be centralized in AUTHORS and
source files can be properly updated on an annual basis.
Storing commands in OS socket buffers caused whole lot of
problems when free space in the buffer ran out. This patch
stores commands in ypipes instead and uses socketpair just
to signal the other thread, ie. at most one byte is stored
in the socketpair at any single instant.

For the platforms that don't support MSG_DONTWAIT the reader
socket in mailbox_t was kept in non-blocking state and flipped
to blocking state and back when blocking read was requested.
Now, the state is preserved between calls and flipped only
if different type of operation (block vs. non-block) is
requested.

For historical reasons queue to transfer commands between
threads was called 'signaler'. Given that it was used to
pass commands rather than signals it was renamed to 'mailbox',
see Erlang mailboxes.
