[zeromq-dev] zproject and zactors

[Kevin Sapper]

Hi Brian,
the current actors in zproject are modeled after the implementation in
zyre. I did find them quite useful when designing an application with
many actors. The generated actors work fine for me and I'm probably the
only who did use them so far. It would be nice to have someone else
evaluate them. 
Regarding the project setup/installation it would be helpful to know
where in the process you did fail and which steps
succeed.
