    by Sean O'Halpin
    http://github.com/seanohalpin/smqueue

== DESCRIPTION:

Implements a simple protocol for using message queues, with adapters
for ActiveMQ, Spread and stdio (for testing).

This is a bare-bones release to share with my colleagues - apologies
for the lack of documentation and tests.

== FEATURES:

* simple to use
* designed primarily for pipeline processing
* compatible with Rails
* comes with a modified stomp.rb library (rstomp.rb)

== BUGS

* you need the ruby spread client installed - should remove this

== SYNOPSIS:

  require 'smqueue'
  config = YAML::load(config_file)
  input_queue = SMQueue(config[:input])
  output_queue = SMQueue(config[:output])
  queue.get do |msg|
     # do something with msg
     output_queue.put new_msg
  end

== REQUIREMENTS:

* depends on doodle
* you need access to an ActiveMQ message broker or Spread publisher
* development uses bones gem

== INSTALL:

* sudo gem install doodle smqueue

For development:

* sudo gem install bones
