Perlbal documentation

Our goal was to get something up by last Friday, but missed it.
I'd be really sad if we don't have a page & docs up for it sometime this
week.
A couple others have played with it, but nobody else is running it in
production that I know of. (witness lack of docs)
As I see it, we need to:
-- document prereqs: Linux is required at this point, and Linux
2.6 (for epoll and scheduling) is recommended for production.
FreeBSD and other Unix support later.
-- make packages for Danga::Socket and Perlbal (which requires
Danga::Socket). but for now you can just check out lib/Danga-Socket
from cvs.danga.com in wcmtools repo and "perl Makefile.PL; make
install" I believe.
-- document perlbal config files (though there are examples in cvs)
-- document why we made our own load balancer in the first place
(explain the cool tricks it does)
-- document the plug-in interface hooks
