[rabbitmq-discuss] Porting .NET client to WinRT API (Windows 8).

[Nathan Brown]

I have pushed my changes to RabbitMQ client for .NET for it to work in a
Windows 8 Store / WinRT environment.  It includes a basic Windows Store
application that connects to the specified amqp URL and subscribes to
messages.  By pressing a button, messages can be sent to the RabbitMQ
server and will then be received by the subscription and displayed in a
list.

The unit tests had to be copied and ported to MSTest because NUnit doesn't
deploy to an app container and some of the WinRT APIs require that.
 Specifically getting the protocol from application configuration.

I added a Subscription.NextAsync() and modified the SharedQueue to handle a
Task based DequeueAsync efficiently.  This allows the main GUI loop to wait
for a message without a separate thread.  These changes will only be
compiled in if the project is a Windows Store App (which defines
NETFX_CORE).

The SSL code is un-tested and probably broken.  The reason for the change
is that the WinRT StreamSocket API handles the SSL internally and doesn't
let the client code do as much as with the previous Socket implementation.
 If someone with experience with SSL can take a look and test it, that
would be great.

Please take a look here:

It doesn't appear that the NuGet package creation is in this repository, so
I was unable to make any changes to that.

Let me know of any feedback you have.

Thanks,

Nathan Brown
