[rabbitmq-discuss] Improving our documentation

[Jiri Krutil]

Michael,

I think it looks much better now.

Btw, I guess the finally block in Recv won't get executed unless an 
exception is thrown -- that means no clean shutdown is possible. But I 
guess that's OK for a hello-world app.

Regards
Jiri
