Starting gigargoyle

./gigargoyle -f -p --pidfile=./test.pid --logfile=./test.log  

Default Ports (when running with port cmdln params):

#define PORT_QM  0xabac /* tcp port for the queing manager */
#define PORT_IS  0xacab /* tcp port for instant streamers  */
#define PORT_WEB   8080 /* tcp port for live watchers      */

Some hints:

1. If you use ports < 1024 gigargoyle must be run as root (not recommended!)
2. pidfile and logfile should be writeable. Default /var/log and /var/pid has to be writeable by user
3. port-web could not be given at command line, patch attached
4. if you plan to use puertoplayer WEB Port 8080 ist required
5. If you have already an service running on that port, shut it down!

The following patch is now already included in distribution 0001-gixed-web_port-argument-handling-the-cmdline-argumen.patch
