Previously, the return value of the processing function and msim_process() told msim_input_cb() whether to free the MsimMessage * or not, but now it is always freed. Functions can use msim_msg_clone() to keep a copy around if they need it. Message processing functions called from msim_process(), and msim_process() itself, now return TRUE if successful, FALSE if not successful.
