All things related to multicast

[(Kevin C. Almeroth)]

I thought awhile about NOT sending this out because I didn't want to 
offend those folks not on the "multicast-enabled" part.  But instead,
I decided to send it anyway and (1) thanks those there were multicast
enabled, (2) marvel at the number of multicast-enabled connectors, and
(3) ask for help in getting to 100%.
