* soft fork in namecoind:
+ prevent "name_new stealing" in memory pool
+ enforce nametx-version also for name *outputs*
+ disallow auxpow parent blocks with auxpow
- limit DB locks / unique tx
- disallow greedy names
- disallow auxpow parent blocks with auxpow
- update fee logic?

* handle seed nodes / DNS seeds

- P2SH as enforced soft fork (BIP16)
- strict BIP30 as enforced soft fork

- name_new format change?
- more differences???
