  * Updated INSTALL and README files.

4.16:
  * Implemented a patch from Shane Kerr <shane@time-travellers.org>:
    - check malloc() return, and plug memory leak from base64 encoding- use
      syslog() to log runtime errors, since stdout and stderr are closed
    - wrap write to socket in a loop, since write()/send() on sockets do not
      necessarily send the entire packet
    - likewise for read
    - fix non-terminated string read into variable (rec)
    - fix broken check of strstr() return...s + 4 will never be false,
      unless strstr() happens to return -4.  :)
    - output error returns in Linux information retrieval
    - add correct checks to fscanf() of /proc files
    - avoid possible division by zero (hey, it could happen)
    - add proper check for open of "/proc/loadavg"
  * Added some comments to functions
  * Added some more syslog() calls
