In retry() the function do_outgoing_connection() is called, which can delete
items from the connection_tree, so when walking the tree we must first save the
pointer to the next item.
On localized, non-English versions of windows, it is
common to have two active charsets -- for console applications
and for GUI applications, together with localized error messages
returned by windows. But two charsets are rarely compatible,
so sending the same byte sequence to console and to windows
event log makes one or another to be unreadable. So at least
include the error number, this way it will be possible to
lookup the actual error test using external ways.

The used remote protocol can change between two reconnects, aka if
the remote side has enabled/disabled for example their ExperimentalProtocols
setting.
Proxy type "exec" can be used to have an external script or binary set
up an outgoing connection. Standard input and output will be used to
exchange data with the external command. The variables REMOTEADDRESS and
REMOTEPORT are set to the intended destination address and port.
When the Proxy option is used, outgoing connections will be made via the
specified proxy. There is no support for authentication methods or for having
the proxy forward incoming connections, and there is no attempt to proxy UDP.
When the "Broadcast = direct" option is used, broadcast packets are not sent
and forwarded via the Minimum Spanning Tree to all nodes, but are sent directly
to all nodes that can be reached in one hop.
One use for this is to allow running ad-hoc routing protocols, such as OLSR, on
top of tinc.
Most likeley the error is that there just is no valid key inside the used
host file, and in this case errno just contains a random value from the
last previously failed call.
When the Name starts with a $, the rest will be interpreted as the name of an
environment variable containing the real Name. When Name is $HOST, but this
environment variable does not exist, gethostname() will be used to set the
Name. In both cases, illegal characters will be converted to underscores.
If the LISTEN_FDS environment variable is set and tinc is run in the
foreground, tinc will use filedescriptors 3 to 3 + LISTEN_FDS for its listening
TCP sockets. For now, tinc will create matching listening UDP sockets itself.
There is no dependency on systemd or on libsystemd-daemon.
The current configure.in file does not correctly make use of these
macros. The resulting configure file will therefore enable an item
even if --disable-FEATURE is given. This patch restores the intended
behavior.
