I've been working on version 2.0 of the Commotion Service Manager
(CSM) for several months, and I'm happy to say it's ready for final
testing. My initial testing on OpenWRT indicate everything's working
correctly, and now I'd like to get some other folks testing it out
before we merge it into the Commotion router firmware.

CSM is the core back-end component behind the local apps portal that
is involved in spreading (and cryptographically verifying)
announcements about local apps on Commotion networks, using multicast DNS.

New features of version 2.0:
* fully refactored and improved code base
* ability to publish (not just browse) service announcements
* migration to CMake
* compilation options for running as a standalone mDNS server or as a
client to an Avahi daemon
* a dynamic schema system (see the README)
* a client API and library
* a Python client module
* a Lua bindings library and package

If anyone would like to help with testing, I've submitted a pull
request here with testing instructions:
