AreInputsStandard()

bool AreInputsStandard	(	const CTransaction &	tx,
		const CCoinsViewCache &	mapInputs,
		uint32_t	flags
	)

Check transaction inputs to mitigate two potential denial-of-service attacks:

Check for standard transaction types.

1. scriptSigs with extra data stuffed into them, not consumed by scriptPubKey (or P2SH script)
2. P2SH scripts with a crazy number of expensive CHECKSIG/CHECKMULTISIG operations

Why bother? To avoid denial-of-service attacks; an attacker can submit a standard HASH... OP_EQUAL transaction, which will get accepted into blocks. The redemption script can be anything; an attacker could use a very expensive-to-check-upon-redemption script like: DUP CHECKSIG DROP ... repeated 100 times... OP_1

GetDustThreshold()

Amount GetDustThreshold	(	const CTxOut &	txout,
		const CFeeRate &	dustRelayFeeIn
	)

"Dust" is defined in terms of dustRelayFee, which has units satoshis-per-kilobyte. If you'd pay more than 1/3 in fees to spend something, then we consider it dust. A typical spendable txout is 34 bytes big, and will need a CTxIn of at least 148 bytes to spend: so dust is a spendable txout less than 546*dustRelayFee/1000 (in satoshis).
