Bill Somerville 3ec6d211c8 Extend UDP status message - added Rx/Tx DF, call and grid information
Build now creates and installs a  UDP library that contains the server
side  of the  UDP messaging  facility.  This  library is  used by  the
udp_daemon and message_aggregator reference  examples. The new library
is  currently a  static archive  but  can also  be built  as a  shared
library.  The library  allows third  party Qt  applications to  easily
access UDP messages from WSJT-X.

Refactored  the  message_aggregator  reference example  to  split  out
classes into  separate translation  units. Added new  functionality to
exercise  the  new  UDP  status fields,  highlight  own  call,  CQ/QRZ
messages and decodes near Rx DF.

//
// MessageAggregator - an example application that utilizes the WSJT-X
// messaging facility
//
// This application is only provided as a simple GUI application
// example to demonstrate the WSJT-X messaging facility. It allows the
// user to set the server details either as a unicast UDP server or,
// if a multicast group address is provided, as a multicast server.
// The benefit of the multicast server is that multiple servers can be
// active at once each receiving all WSJT-X broadcast messages and
// each able to respond to individual WSJT_X clients. To utilize the
// multicast group features each WSJT-X client must set the same
// multicast group address as the UDP server address for example
// 239.255.0.0 for a site local multicast group.
//
// The UI is a small panel to input the service port number and
// optionally the multicast group address. Below that a table
// representing the log entries where any QSO logged messages
// broadcast from WSJT-X clients are displayed. The bottom of the
// application main window is a dock area where a dock window will
// appear for each WSJT-X client, this window contains a table of the
// current decode messages broadcast from that WSJT-X client and a
// status line showing the status update messages broadcast from the
// WSJT-X client. The dock windows may be arranged in a tab bar, side
// by side, below each other or, completely detached from the dock
// area as floating windows. Double clicking the dock window title bar
// or dragging and dropping with the mouse allows these different
// arrangements.
//
// The application also provides a simple menu bar including a view
// menu that allows each dock window to be hidden or revealed.
