I dunno, it just seems to fit so well here, I didn't even have to change
the documentation.

Looking around briefly, it seems that there is a not so great set of
returned values from ServiceDescriptor.create() with activation
returning the RMI GID. So a little more work to wrap everything into
something implementing an interface with lifecycle management in it
would be required.

I'd like to add a start() method to OutriggerImpl, so I can delay any
threads from being started until after construction is complete.
This is required for safe publication to comply with the JMM.
Before doing so, I'd like to know how people are using Outrigger, so
I can minimise unintended consequences / breakages.
Comments, opinions and thoughts?
