[DGD] Changing connect() (network package)

[bart at wotf.org]

(bah, did it again, sending with the wrong from address...)


I suppose writing socket code outside DGD might work yes..

I'd not like having 2 different things managing my connections tho, but thats
a matter of opinion I suppose.

Question is, can you call functions in LPC objects from the extension
interface, and can you do so only as part of an existing thread or can you
create a new one?
