Bukkit

This is the last major update before Minecraft 1.5 hits, so I decided to mainly focus on improving performance and stability.

A number of users were having problems with the latest developer builds (1.45+) of BkCommonLib, which all came down to the fact that BkCommonLib for some time registered a listener for every server and client packet known. While this has been fixed in the latest developer version of BkCommonLib, it nevertheless prompted me to correct a number of inefficiencies and bugs in ProtocolLib.
