> This is in the topic/seth/scripts-for-2.1 branch, apologies for the poor naming.  One test is failing for me (coverage.test-all-policy) but I'm not sure what to do to fix it.
> This branch reworks the packet filter framework to make it easier to accomplish common actions.  
> \\- Removes the PacketFilter::all_packets variable and instead makes "ip or not ip" the default capture filter.
> \\- Adds some convenience methods for restricting the traffic that is monitored and shunting traffic away with BPF.
> \\- Adds the beginning of load balancing support that is necessary to tie in with some load balancing methods through broctl.
> \\- Change the queue manager to flush the event queue before initializing analyzers through DPD.
> \\- New protocols framework that adds some convenience support for defining the analyzer->DPD linkage.
