The basis of cluster support for Presents servers. All servers in a cluster

make connections to other servers in the cluster and can exchange events (in a
limited fashion).

This is different than Liz's project wherein servers share an oid space and one
can interchangably work with distributed objects from any server. This package
provides a means by which certain services (by default, presence and chat) can
be communicated between servers to allow communication between players
scattered around a bunch of otherwise independent server instances.

This is less general purpose but also less likely to encourage people to write
code that tightly couples multiple servers and then falls over because it
generates gobs of network traffic as events are flung willy nilly behind the
scenes.
