some thoughts about udpt project

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I plan to run a small retracker and I found that udpt perfectly suits my needs. 
Thanks for the brilliant idea (small UDP tracker wihout «fill-sized RDBMS» 
backend) and good work!

Some issues after 1st build and run:
1. Seems that makefile does not have install phase and udpt binary but be 
installed manually.
2. Some mess with config file – this file (together with db file) created in 
current directory, which is very strange :) More, path_to_config as first 
argument is ignored and some parsing errors are detected (If you're interested 
I'll investigate this further). I expected more or less «standard» 
3. Logging. Stdout only? Some *funny* messages like «E:(null)» or «[not an 
error]» – is not so obvious :)

By the way, I've created simple ebuild for Gentoo – if you think to put it 
together with debian packages, I'll gladly share it.

one addition – bind to 0.0.0.0 is fine but it would be very nice to have a 
configurable value

Please provide the config file that causes parsing errors.

Another one config-related bug:
docs says: «If no configuration file is present, a default configuration file 
will be created by the program (if a parameter was specified, it will be 
created there).», but it is not:

I've just fixed that with the last push to the repo.
Thanks!

That was a Makefile problem... fixed.

comment lines where supposed to start with a semicolon (';') not with hashes 
('#'), but i thought it was a good idea - so i added hashes as comments.
Please approve fixes (commit db74edbb51df).

Config file is now read from executable's directory (if non specified) instead 
of current directory.
