[ENet-discuss] Verifying no reliable packets left

[Ruud van Gaal]

implemented Mark Palkow's suggestion to check the peer list sizes, always
good to have available.

PS I get these mails only once a day; it seems like you're using some other
mechanism than regular email to reply/manage this list. Is there a server
somewhere where I can more interactively deal with this list?
