I've fixed these in my development INSTALL file and updated the website

fixed this in my development version. see the power of repeatedly 
pointing out the same bug? that's been on the todo list for months :)

I've updated this page; it should be more clear now (if you have a 
CSS-enabled browser). I also changed the content a bit to be more 
interesting stuff, and corrected some output format drift.

I believe you're working on that now..

these have been permanently removed from my development (post 0.12) 
version; I didn't write them in the first place (they were in boost) and 
I've just worked around dependency on that file altogether.

I'll have a look at rephrasing these; I think the netsync UI chatter is 
not terribly informative at the moment. I've entered a bug (#8551) on 
the matter.

thanks the the (voluminous) feedback; let me know if there are more ways 
it surprises / misbehaves.
