Re: The messenger service is ready to use

Sounds good, I hope the documentation won't take too long.

I've also noticed one bug already which needs to be fixed. So if you
should go straight to testing, I would probably not use
GNUNET_MESSENGER_update(handle) too much currently. ^^'

There's currently a problem in the completion of a members session-
chain which could end-up in a seg-fault when for example the second
session is completed before the first one (which may happen in very
complex situations). Calling GNUNET_MESSENGER_update(handle) will
create a new entry in a members session-chain, so not calling it or
calling it once only should not be an issue.
