Client (SPV) mode never got implemented entirely, and whatever part was already working, is likely not been tested (or even executed at all) for the past two years. This removes it entirely.
If we want an SPV implementation, I think we should first get the block chain data structures to be encapsulated in a class implementing a standard interface, and then writing an alternate implementation with SPV semantics.
Automatic sanity-testing: PASSED, see http://jenkins.bluematt.me/pull-tester/74102ce089021edd05214c2f0c19b96b11659fc3 for binaries and test log.
ACK, but I think you should collapse the empty curly braces.

I was thinking that we should archive satoshi code snippets somewhere, perhaps in contrib/
He did a bit of fClient work, emailed some code snippets to others, etc. Would be nice to collect the Not Used Yet ones, and not bury them in email boxes or git history.

@jgarzik : the fClient work is in the 'blockheaders' branch here. The only code snippet I got from Satoshi is now merged (the signature cache).
