[Pianod] Remote control, NetIO, station ordering

[Michael R. Hines]

Parette, I found an HTTP library looks like it compiles on MACOS:

https://github.com/cpp-netlib/cpp-netlib

with some pretty simple examples:

http://cpp-netlib.github.com/latest/index.html

I have lots of experience with JSON and Ajax .... My idea would be to
*complement* libfootball (not replace it - it's very valuable).

I'm willing to donate a few hours and put something together that
could be invoked from a mobile application.....
