introduced the idea of detached properties

some things inside the message can be used over a large number of
messages and need to to be allocated and re-written every time. I now
begin to implement this as a "prop_t" object, first use for the inputName.
Some input modules are already converted, some others to go. Will do
a little performance check on the new method before I go further.

Also, this commit has some cleanup and a few bug fixes that prevented
compiliation in debug mode (I overlooked this as I did not compile
for debug, what I normally do, and the automatted test also does not
do that)
