#99 Ability to create a Message from a ByteBuffer

[Marrache Mickael]

Hi,

I've attached the modified DNSInput class.

Also, the following constructor must be added to Message:

/**

 * Creates a new Message from its DNS wire format representation
 * @param byteBuffer A ByteBuffer containing the DNS Message.
 */
public
Message(ByteBuffer byteBuffer) throws IOException {
    this(new DNSInput(byteBuffer));
}

The modified DNSInput class simply uses a ByteBuffer instead of using a byte array directly. All changes are backward compatible.

If the changes may be incorporated to the public sources ASAP that would be great.

Thanks,
Mickael

Applied, with a few bug fixes (the DNSInput readU16() and read32() methods need to return unsigned types, not signed types).
