Log:
 performance improvement: 
 In the past: to prevent duplicate protocol names (and alike), each time a new protocol was registered, the list of protocols were iterated and the name compared with each existing name using strcasecmp, which is slow as we have >500 protocols right now.
 
 Now: the protocol name to check against duplicates is first converted into a hashvalue and then only this value is checked and stored in a hashtable. This way the string to check for, has to be converted/compared only a single time!
