experimental:

- Add 3rd party python libraries used by ioctl backend to tree and to setup.py
- Port several bug fixes from the trunk (removing reliance on shell for running external commands, unicode fixes, gui crash fixes, authentication validation improvements, several others)
- Fix some crashes in ioctl backend.
- Change daemon/GUI launch scripts to use the -O flag.
