Minor changes (almost entirely in main.c):

* Heavily commented options
* Fixed bug introduced into default_duration and -w (my fault)
* Defined configuration file string defaults (no processing yet)
* Added simple optimization to option processing
* Reformed some comments for easier readability
* Fixed bug that caused program not to drop root privs when
  running on port under 1024
* Converted further to use syslog instead of printf
