[go-nuts] mbxchan - Simple, distributed Go channels and remote methods

This package enables easy construction of distributed Go application.
Applicatioin processes communicate through standard Go channels. The
package also provides simple access to exported remote methods (RPC).

Examples:
1. Send "Hello" from one process to another.
     Sending side:
     ------------------
     outch, err := mbxchan.MakeClientChan("mybox")
     outch <- []byte("Hello")
     ...
     mbxchan.CloseClientChan(outch)

     Receiving side:
     --------------------
     inch, err := mbxchan.MakeServerChan("mybox", "HTTP")
     body, ok <- inch
     fmt.Printf("%s\n", string(body))
     ...
     mbxchan.CloseServerChan(inch)

2. Synchronous RPC call to remote method by name "Mul"

     type MulStruct struct { A, B int }

     Client side:
    ----------------
     rpc := mbxchan.OpenRpcConn("Mul")
     args := MulStruct{3, 4}
     reply := new(int)
     err := rpc.RpcCall(args, reply)

     Server side:
     ----------------
     err := mbxchan.PublishRpcMethod("Mul", CalcMul) // CalcMul function
is a user function

3. Asynchronous RPC call to remote method by name "Mul". Asynchronous call
returns pointer to structure:
     type rpcCall struct {
         Reply interface{}
         Error error
         Done chan rpcCall
     }

     Client side:
     ---------------
     rpc := mbxchan.OpenRpcConn("Mul")
     args := MulStruct{6, 7}
     reply := new(int)
     mulCall := rpc.RpcGo(args, reply)
     ...
     replyCall := <-mulCall.Done
