packetloss:

 for new gui added cofiguration file and config reader (beta but working)
 everything should be backward-compatible with original commandline arguments
 if NEWGUIONLY is not defined

 configuration in file: hosts can be disabled, max. number of flows
 can be limited, timestamp difference among host can be tuned 

 reconnection can be turned on on-demand (SIGUSR1, NEWGUIONLY) becouse
 if trying every loop it seems to be more time consuming than acceptable

 reconnection was not tested with --enable-reconnect mapi mechanism as
 it was originally based just on retrieving NULL from mapi_read_result,
 however it should work as I modified it with respect to previous commit
 from AK

 stats can be cleared (SIGUSR2)

 unified reporting of application state

 commandline options (NEWGUIONLY)
 
gui:
 enabled use of rrd server
 improved error reporting
