was sooo wrong you wonder how it worked in the first place... Took
me days to find this one!

Also added a new switch, '-o', that lets assign try out solutions
that over-load a pnode. This helps a lot with topologies where the
optimal solution is a best-fit onto multiplexed pnodes.

The end result is that Mike's snake maps much better - it used to get
an essentially random mapping, but now it gets something acceptible.

the ptop file since we allocate them sort like we do delay nodes now
(based on class:count).

the pid so that ptopgen can do permission checks on the node types and
classes before it sticks them into the ptop file. -e now takes just eid,
but operates as before.

Change the -v option slightly; assign passes -v option when it sees
that the topology requires virtual nodes. Without -v, virtual nodes
are not placed into the the ptop file, saving about 6000 lines of node
entries!

Get rid of the pcvm and pc601 hacks, and replace with a permission
check, as determined by the nodetypeXpid_permissions. I've updated
that table to reflect current types/classes.

Change Rob's last change, which was doing a DB query on each node,
which when used with -v, was issuing a lot of queries. I was puzzled
why ptopgen was taking 4 seconds to run!

Kill more sharks.
Cleanup some terrible indenting.

* In the parser, make -n (impotent) and -a (anonymous) more
  independent. Used to be that -n required -a, but that makes the
  preparse less useful, since it cannot catch project related errors
  (like bad osids, or node type permissions), and so the user does not
  get that until the email message later. Thats so annoying, even Mike
  whined about it.

  Note that impotent mode is sorta misnamed now, since the parse never
  operates on the DB. Rather, impotent mode now skips doing the XML
  output phase (still aptly named updateDB!).

* Add -p (pass) option. I added this for my script that was parsing
  all the old NS files to get renderings. In this case, I do not want
  -n or -a; I want to upload the results into the DB, but the project
  related checks are obviously going to fail since I was doing it
  inside the testbed project. So, -p turns on some of the anon checks,
  and later might be used to turn certain features that are no longer
  supported, since all we really care about is the toplology (some NS
  files failed on old features and syntax).

Upon reflection I think these three options could probably be rolled
into just two, by cleaning up the current impotent and anonymous
flags.

which features and their weights can be placed, per node type.
ptopgen now includes these features in the ptop files it generates.

* Remove star on netbed CD
* Remove ron/all picture from counts and pictures.
* Display a multiple of 4 pictures
* Add new icon to active/swapped links on index page
* Link to active/swapped directly from index page
* Change title to Active and Recently Swapped Out.

Still a problem though; counts no longer match. will fix when I return
from the dentist.

.png file to saved in the users exp directory, and in the longterm

If we decide to keep NS files in the DB for longterm storage, we
should keep the .png files along with them (they are generally very
small, under 1k bytes).
