It would have been easier if it was easier to find the source code 
location of the error.
What i did not realize is that the log messages you get from using tincd 
-D -d3 are different from the log messages you get when you log to a 
file. The log to the file is what finally set me in the right direction.

I would like to build the windows version on windows in the end. I'll 
start with the Linux build first.
My end goal would be to run tincd in a debugger. I like to see the code 
run when I run into hard problems.
