       Due to the nature of the empire protocol, only one client may have input focus at one time.  If a  client
       pauses at a context sensitive prompt from the server, all other clients will be unable to send data.

emp_hub allows multiple clients to simultaneously connect to a single Empire country.  This allows you to
       use both a fast and a smart client simultaneously.  It also permits multiple corulers to log in at once.

   Parametershost        Hostname of the upstream server.

       port        TCP/IP port number the empire server is running on.

       localport   TCP/IP port number the emp_hub should listen to for incoming client connections.

       -mirror     Copy commands and replies to all clients using new protocols.  Currently only the lafe client
                   is aware of these protocols, though most clients will ignore them.

       -persistent Normally  emp_hub exits after the last client disconnects.  With this option emp_hub does not
                   exit, and will wait for new clients to connect.  emp_hub must be killed by the user using the
                   kill command.

       -help       Brief usage information.

       -debug      Print lots of messages, including everything sent and received  by  a  client.   Useful  when
                   debugging either emp_hub , a client, or the server.
