Suggested additions for TINC

[Unknown]

Why additional compression method?
These days bandwidth is quite cheap.
Encryption already eats enough CPU cycles.
Using compression on 10Mbit+ is quite pointless?

1. The UDT library is a BSD-licensed accelerated UDP-based 
transport. 
Would tinc be able to use this for UDP-based connections and would the 
licensing be acceptable?

2. I would like to see a 3rd compression protocol added to tinc: 
one 
based on the Mahoney compression schemes would be worth investigating 
(need 
something fast and uses small RAM on routers).
