/**
  Docu   : To use the lyxserver define the name of the pipe in your
	   lyxrc:
	   \serverpipe "/home/myhome/.lyxpipe"
	   Then use .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out to communicate to LyX.
	   Each message consists of a single line in ASCII. Input lines
	   (client -> LyX) have the following format:
	    "LYXCMD:<clientname>:<functionname>:<argument>"
	   Answers from LyX look like this:
	   "INFO:<clientname>:<functionname>:<data>"
 [asierra970531] Or like this in case of error:
	   "ERROR:<clientname>:<functionname>:<error message>"
	   where <clientname> and <functionname> are just echoed.
	   If LyX notifies about a user defined extension key-sequence,
	   the line looks like this:
	   "NOTIFY:<key-sequence>"
 [asierra970531] New server-only messages to implement a simple protocol
	   "LYXSRV:<clientname>:<protocol message>"
	   where <protocol message> can be "hello" or "bye". If hello is
	   received LyX will inform the client that it's listening its
	   messages, and 'bye' will inform that lyx is closing.

	   See development/lyxserver/server_monitor.cpp for an example client.
  Purpose: implement a client/server lib for LyX
