Check out the brand-new README.Contributing doc as well.  Added
within the last couple of days.

A lot of the code is confusing...  hi hi

For the most part you should start at db.c:decode_ax25_line().
You'll eventually end up at either msg_data_add() or data_add(),
depending on the type of packet it was.

Another key element is main.c:UpdateTime(), where the periodic
processes get triggered.
