Recipes for cjdns.

README

This document is used for the planning of (and maybe a finished version of) a cjdns cookbook. This cookbook will have everything a user needa to get up and running with cjdns, with recipes to use it to do cool stuff. This will hopefully absorb all exisiting cjdns documentation and become the de facto book for using cjdns.
