Please don't merge patches 5-7 now as per other threads going on.
These aren't needed I believe. I will still verify that is the case
but can't yet do that.

I'm now dropping this series of patches (5-7) which provided setting
packet size s for a number of reasons:
- bit rot has set in
- Gerrit's moving average code has been put in
- altering packet size makes no difference to packet rate (see
http://wand.net.nz/~perry/max_download.php ) at present
- probably not tidied up before next merge window closes

I suspect the only time it would make a difference really is if we are
fragmenting packets. Given our implementation doesn't support this
it's no point implementing this.

I will keep a copy (that doesn't apply to current tree) around in case
we need it in the future.

Regards,

Ian
