By donig this in ecos/init.cxx the constructor is run at the priority of 
the networking subsystem. This will be before the uitron subsystem is 
initialized. This is probably because down the road uitron may acquire 
networking functions so it would need to be that way round.

Define your own constructor in the same way as ecos/init.cxx but give it 
default priority.
