Repeater as Service

[supercoe]

At this point the tentative plan is to take Karl's Perl Repeater and merge the ChunkServer code into it so there isn't a need for separate apps to pass extra data between InstantSupport and ChunkViewer.

I'll look into adding the reflector functionality into the repeater but my Perl skillz need some more work first.

Cool. But it looks like his Perl port is more barebones.

Upon examination, his -reflect option is significantly more scalable than the old reflector project -- he's basically letting you build an ad hoc BitTorrent style distribution mechanism, where viewers can optionally and arbitrarily act as repeaters too! Very nice.
