Data Port products updated

All Data Port products have been updated to tackle two nagging issues: library threading model and a memory leak on the device component. The device component has been corrected to address the GetTableDefinition "leak" (see my previous post) and underwent a major review on memory allocation issues. Memory consumption is now much leaner due to some clever buffer reuse tricks.

I'm still recovering from the shock of realizing that all desktop code was being linked to the sinlge threaded versions of the runtime libraries. At least two threads are used in all products (DPW uses more) so you may now understand why some of my users were getting random memory addressing crashes...
