this is done to make sure that the congestion control algorithm requested
was actually loaded correctly

i've manually defined the TCP_CONGESTION to not mess up my system headers,
if that isn't defined this patch makes no sense at all (there is no kernel
interface to get/set cc algorithm)

- put some text in the usage help in src/Locale.c to explain the option


sure

- Don't use if !isUDP to test if TCP as that breaks on other protocols

e.g. DCCP/SCTP. Instead test mProtocol =3D=3D kTCP


good hint
