[HECnet] Configuring py-decnet.

[Thomas DeBellis]

You and me both!

I have over a 130 documented fixes and enhancements to Tops-20, some of 
them massive.  This does not include what I've completely rewritten from 
scratch.  Several items are in active development.

Yet I have no idea who I'd give them to.  A few might interest XKL, 
perhaps.  I guess I'll do something Github, one of these days.

I wore out all my vulgar language when Jupiter was cancelled. Seems like 
it's all 'Darn it', 'Golly' and 'Gee whiz' these days.
