[Haskell-cafe] Message passing library

[Tikhon Jelvis]

As far as ZeroMQ goes, it made it difficult for me to build IHaskell both
times I've tried. It's not insurmountable, but it is a bit of a pain.

If you do end up using it, some clear (maybe even copy-pastable)
instructions on how to install and check the C library itself on different
systems would go a long way.

I don't think it's bad enough to rule it out a priori, but it's something
to keep in mind.
