Updated.

Still missing: message API?

Also check the communication "protocol", please suggest if you have
better ideas (but we could break-extend it later, or add support to
versioning).

The zmqshell.c patch depends on the av_dynarray_alloc_elem() patch. I
don't know if we should drop the C client in favor of the python
version (which would need to be extended, e.g. to make the bind
address configurable).
