Well have a project that produces a number of libraries derived
directly from corosync.

- list    (header)
- tlist   (header)
- hdb     (header)
- timers  (library)
- poll    (library)
- objdb   (library)
- ipc     (client & server library)
- tsafe   (library)
- logsys  (library)
- lcr     (library)
- wthread (library)

- We need to decide to what extent this should be compatible with
  glib (g_mainloop, g_timer, etc...).
- Also these will need to be as independent as possible so people can
  use what they want without having to pull in everything. 
- We also need to think how to handle logging & stats (currently 
  ipcs logs and produces stats).

Yes I know but also give me a chance to set direction to some extent
which will be fun. Obviously development will be driven from it's
main users so that should make it easy to guide it in the right
direction.
