After experimenting with a long running average at maxed out FPS and a variety of map sizes, 128 seems to actually be a good size to use if only drawing bits of world with stuff in it. 64 actually did even better in some situations, but significantly worse in others (lots of land, zoomed out).

frontlib refactoring
socket.h now completely wraps all the lowlevel neworking, so it would be easy
to switch away from SDL_net if needed. Also reduced global state by making an
IPC connection an object-like thing.
