Allow xbox360 to notice two instances of uShare.

First off, I started playing around with uShare a few hours ago for use with my xbox 360, and I am very happy with the software. I found that for my uses, I needed to have several uShare instances running. Unfortunately the xbox 360 only picked up one of the instances. Fortunately, I've come up with a patch.

Currently, uShare allows a user to specify which http and telnet ports to bind to (-t and -p), as well as a unique name (-n) for a given instance. While this allows more than one uShare instance on the same interface, it is not sufficient for the xbox 360 to recognize both instances.

After some digging around, I realized that both instances had the same UDN, and came up with the attached patch for ushare 1.1a on Linux. In a nutshell, the patch changes the way the UDN is created. The create_udn() function now has a second parameter to specify the 16-bit port passed on the -p switch from the command line. The 16 bit number now forms the last two bytes of the UDN.

I've tried this on my 3 day old XBOX 360, and it works beautifully. Hopefully this will make it into the next release!

add -m option to limit ushare memory

This patch adds an option to ushare's command line in order to allow limiting its memory usage. This is useful on systems with constrained memory.

Logic error in ushare.c ... see included patch for fix.

Support for large files (>= 2 GiB)

This patch enables ushare to stream files >= 2 GiB.

I've tested this with a D-Link DSM-520 and it will work when used in conjunction with the pupnp.largefiles_part2.patch here:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1634922&group_id=166957&atid=841028

which applies to the pupnp trunk as of 13 Jan 07, not the libupnp-1.4.1 download.
