Prep-for-release cleanup of buglets found making sure the demo
install works

• Clean up instructions for creating the database. Apparently the PL/pgSQL "language" module required for the last-modified triggers can't be installed by a regular user, and isn't available by default. O_o

• Add a quick hack to allow automagical allocation from private net ranges. See #38.
• Partially convert some critical bits to use bound parameters in SQL for new allocations. See #34, mostly cleaned up already on /trunk or /branches/htmlform
• Set $privdata = internally so that an allocation via admin tools doesn't error out
