[zeromq-dev] MQTT protocol

MQTT is designed to have a lightweight implementation on low power embedded
devices. Uses TCP for transport, always PUB/SUB, always with a broker. It
has a pretty lightweight wire protocol, and some nice features for dealing
with flaky networks (like a last will and testament message that
automatically gets sent when the connection goes away, it has heartbeating
for presence). There's also a version designed for really low spec sensors,
which is handy if you're in that sort of environment.
