Support for sending messages to a Stomp message broker

[wereHamster]

Stomp (​http://stomp.codehaus.org) is a protocol which can be used by applications to exchange messages. It's similar to dbus but is used in different situations. Most enterprise architectures and frameworks have a message broker component nowadays. Stomp is often used in Ruby on Rails projects.

I use Stomp to integrate Transmission with my Ruby on Rails frontend. When a torrent is finished the daemon sends a message to the bus, a script processes the message and sends emails to the people who requested the download. I also do post-processing on the downloaded files (something which can take up to several minutes).

The libstomp code is copied from the sample C code available at ​http://svn.stomp.codehaus.org/browse/stomp/trunk/c/. It is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, I hope it is compatible with MIT.

Somebody with knowledge of autoconf needs to take a look at the patch to configure.ac. Somehow libstomp.a isn't being built when stomp is enabled.

This patch looks great, but I don't see how this would be useful for more than a few people, and I really don't like the idea of having to maintain it.

Maybe this should be a third-party add-on?
