TODO

• Describe build / automation of getdns.framework . Initial Credits:
  • https://github.com/hasseily/Makefile-to-iOS-Framework
  • http://www.cvursache.com/2013/08/13/How-To-Build-openssl-For-iOS/
• Use getdns 0.1.1 when fixes are available
• Use iOS blocks for async API
• Fix memory management
• Add wrappers so extensions / options can be passed as normal data structures (NSDictionary, NSArray, etc.)
• Hide low level C api - replace w/ objective-c
