  Description     : C Websockets Server Library

This is a C implementation of the websockets protocol:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6455

I don't want to package this library myself but I might be able to sponsor
it if someone is volunteering to do it. I'm thus ccing debian-mentors and
debian-devel in the hope to find someone interested to package it.

Note: there's also a fork at https://github.com/davidgaleano/libwebsockets
I don't know which version should be best packaged. I favor the original
one unless we find good reasons to use the other one.
