Kernel AODV Multicasting

------------------------------------------------

Kernel AODV has support for a basic form of Multicasting. Instead of building a
tree, it simply broadcast floods so the entire network will hear. While this is
very inefficent, it was simple to implement and is veru robust. I may look at
implementing a more advanced system in the future.

In order to enable multicasting support you need to alter the Makefile. Append
-DAODV_MULTICAST to the AODV_FLAGS line.

Troubleshooting:
	If you start having wierd problems you can try readjusting the LIST_SIZE in
rebroadcast_list.h. This is the amount of packet history you wish to keep tack
of. If a packet is more than LIST_SIZE behind the highest packet it will be
automatically dropped.
	Also if you are doing video playback and notice a lot of dropped packets it may
be due to a lack of processing power as opposed to missing packets. Just
something I have noticed while developing for the IPaq.
