Initial version that should have enough of the plumbing to produce
a working adapter. Memory test is showing 8 bytes held after one
of the tests so I'm going to revisit that later. But basic
functionality is there going by the unit tests.
Generally, opaque data operations are expected to be over 'void *' and have
now converted interfaces to do that. Update() method honors millisecond limit to dwell
time. Might want to homologate the millis/uSecs mix later....
boost::thread and the easiest path to that was to go with the 1.48 Boost release
in the 3P tree (eliminating a fork for a modified 1.45 packaging). One unit test,
the most important one, is failing in test_httprequest but that can be attended
to later. This test issues a GET to http://localhost:2/ and that is hitting the
wire but the libcurl plumbing isn't delivering the failure, only the eventual
timeout. An unexpected change in behavior.
