Description

This update adds the possibility of anonymizing user and host
for license data at the collection time. By updating 

        anonymize()=""
        {
                username()=""
                {
                        field(String)="username"{}
                        method(String)="none"{}
                }
                hostname()=""
                {
                        field(String)="hostname"{}
                        method(String)="none"{}
                }
        }

and changing method to either "clear" or "hash", real user
and/or host names will be removed from license data. The
"clear" metohd will set all names to "_clear_" while
using "hash" will set names to the internal hash value
for the names. This will allow you to se the usage patterns
tough names will no longer be identifiable.
