Message:

Added initial support for managing simultaneous honeyclient VMs on a single Manager. Command-line functionality is complete; however, Database functionality is NOT complete. Initial stress tests and unit tests seem to pass ok. Had to re-work some of the VM daemon functionality, in order for multiple threads to play nice. ithreads is still very annoying to use — 80% of the time it works ok, but the remaining 20% of the time seems to cause the code to run into esoteric corner cases (e.g., initialization/destruction logic) that takes LONG amounts of time to debug.
