libzmq gem

zeromq downloading from source is a pain, and packages in existing distros are out of date. So a gem!

This is very much a 0.0.something release.

Basic instructions (not very useful though)

gem install libzmq

Using with ffi-rzmq

If you're using ffi-rzmq, make sure you load the libzmq gem first. A helper require that does the patching in the right order is available:

require 'libzmq/ffi-rzmq'

You'll need to have the ffi-rzmq gem installed (and the ffi gem if you're on Ruby 1.9.2).

Or the bundler lines:

gem 'ffi'
gem 'libzmq'
gem 'ffi-rzmq'

Note the ordering.
