Dashes in node names

[Daniel Baumann]

Hi,
I'am using a script which manages the setup of nodes. This depends on
zeroconf and so the tinc node name and the hostname must match.

But tinc doesn't allow dashes in node names. Is this really is
necessary? Dashes in hostnames are not really uncommon.

Is there something which prevents appling such a diff?:
