[Grub-dev] do we even really need a native client

[jer]

I just checked this into subversion and will attach it here, if you  
know perl hopefully it isn't too obtuse to read and get an idea of  
how it works, which is very very simple (compared to the old SOAP  
interface).

I'm trying to get a new dispatch.grub.org officially set up and a  
whole bunch of work units available under it.  It'll just use HTTP  
basic auth and probably 250-url sized work units.  It should be  
really really easy to code grub clients in any language or  
environment :)
