You've actually hit the problem we've noticed already: The front page is 
not clear enough about what 0MQ is and what it is not. We are planning 
to make it more comprehensible soon.

Nice. We can possibly use your code later on, when Windows port and C# 
binding is available. The other way is of course to use Qpid client + 
your RTD code to connect to 0MQ via AMQP once this feature is released.
