[Netkit.users] Announcement: major release

Dear Massimo,

First of all thanks for the excellent Netkit! I'm really glad that it 
has continuous support!

Second, I'm sending some small scripts I'm using extensively during my 
work. I hope some of them might be useful, maybe in a next release. I 
can imagine that you already have some of these in the distro, I just 
didn't find the right parameters.

labrestart.sh: simple, but very useful script if you are working with a 
lab with many VMs

labstop.sh: again, useful to have a fast cleanup in case there are lots 
of VMs, and you would anyway start it from scratch next time

wireshark.sh: I'm using this with a modified filesystem, with X client 
installed and wireshark installed.
I think I just had to do
    apt-get install xbase-clients wireshark
I know that there are other ways, e.g. tcpdump inside the VM and open it 
outside, maybe the packet stream can be exported as well, but this was 
the most convenient way I've found

debug.sh: useful if you do kernel development. It can be improved to 
search for the right process and attach automatically, if there is interest.

Best regards,
Csaba
