hi all;

have pushed-

* some tweaks to the parser library and haris' controller;
* a skeleton (builds, does nothing, has some huge holes) of an OF switch;
* some very crude and untested regressions ported from tests/ ;
* docs of all the above in README.md; and
* an outline of the best i can manage for a test setup on OSX in TESTING.md

could anyone on the list with openflow experience take a look and see what's missing/wrong?

also, there're a couple of questions at the end of the README.md which might be challenges for the new device model as applied to networking- the last question in particular describes what i think we should aim for.  but, as i've no feel for how feasible/how much work it is given the current state of the code and the capabilities of the device and network demux model, some input from those who's ocaml's better than mine would be appreciated.  (and indeed, anyone who's likely to use mirage to write networking stuff might want to comment whether what i'm suggesting "feels right".)

code in my fork, https://github.com/mor1/mirage, branch "openflow", under ./lib/openflow/ with the ported but as-yet-untested-in-this-tree regression tests under ./regress/openflow/.
