[R-sig-hpc] [zeromq-dev] rzmq package

I'd like to be able to call serialize/unserialize from c/c++, but
after looking at serialize.c, I'm a little uncomfortable.

So, for now, all my rzmq code just calls lapply(unserialize,ans) on
the results.  no biggie I guess.

It reorganizes the code so that vectors are serialized as bulk operations, instead of the current implementation that serializes one element of the vector at a time. I haven't gotten any feedback yet from the R-devel mailing list.
