[Click] Any examples of ToSocket and FromSocket?

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi Nick,

FromSocket and ToSocket are definitely the right places to start.  But they open 
the socket as Click starts up, and don't currently support other processes 
starting up after the router is configured.  It shouldn't be hard to add support 
for that, though.  Talk to me if you want advice.
