Show broadcast addresses as such? #8

The visualizer shows 192.168.8.255 as a regular IP-address. No DNS-translation is obviously made. But perhaps it can show alternative text such as: "LAN broadcast-address".

@tjeb could the SPIN kernel module pass on information about which addresses are broadcast?

Corner case: what if the netmask changes at some moment in time?

Seems to be difficult, we need more information about the network environment in order to reliably do this. Moving to SPIN 0.7.
