[rabbitmq-discuss] Announcing Vorpal Bunny 0.1

[Gavin M. Roy]

Correction:

Vorpal Bunny is an experimental rabbitmq-jsonrpc-channel PHP driver designed
to allow expedited single call HTTP delivery for Basic.Publish calls to
RabbitMQ.

The goal is to be a light-weight tool for higher throughput with smaller
protocol overhead for single-call of Basic.Publish per application
execution.
