GSoC update: Hurry up and procrastinate.

[kpreid]

I'm having severe getting-around-to-actually-doing-the-work problems; I am far behind schedule. I think the problem is framing this as “work” rather than just another of the projects that I've found interesting and tinkered with. (I also blame Team Fortress 2 and Rosetta Code for providing attractive distractions...)

I've ported the “Ref” facility from E; this is necessary as CapTP is built on Ref semantics (promises, proxies, broken refs). I hope to very soon get the actual CapTP connection module up, then (as I wrote before) “define, document and implement a CapTP-over-HTTP protocol”.

(I previously mentioned implementing the Surgeon (serialization tool) but I then remembered that that's actually irrelevant to CapTP.)

Also: working without Internet access removes a whole lot of potential distractions — and one’s access to online documentation. Luckily I had some source code around which provided examples.
