Namecoin testnet beta

I would like to create a new branch on namecoin/libcoin. The branch would be namecoin-testnet-beta, the beta part is to indicate that it still uses some hacks to let it sync.
Almost all code to enable testnet is a carbon copy from Khal, his code is syncing up to height 6000 if I remember correctly. I would like to leave a breadcrumb to indicate this, maybe pull one commit from his repo.
