Hi,

I've just reworked the file transfer code so it's split into a protocol
part (in protocol.js) and a user-interface part (in galene.js).  The new
code uses an explicit state machine, and therefore should have much better
error handling (in particular, you'll no longer see a file transfer hang
if the peer goes away).  Please test.

Unfortunately, this means that if you're maintaining and alternate client
and you've reimplemented file transfer, I've just made part of your work
obsolete.  Sorry, Jeroen.

In case anyone is interested, the new code is here:

  https://github.com/jech/galene/blob/master/static/galene.js#L2415

Yes, that's all there is to it :-)
