This patch does exactly what is descibed in task #2502. The VC number is not 
used yet, but I've added it to the protocol.

This patch adds the --extern-bell argument to libcons. It is switched off by 
default. Is --extern-bell a good long name or does someone have a better idea?

should I increase the protocol version number?

I forgot hurd/console.h. I've included this and a changelog entry.

Comment:
This needs to be redesigned.  Global bell events should be more like evens 
indicating a change to the screen matrix, ie use a union structure to name the 
console in question.

There is no need to keep a count of such global bell events.  If there are so 
many that we can't keep up, we will miss a few, but then it's probably better 
that way.
