Hi!

I am making progress on my node.js bindings for iotivity:

- I'm downloading the 0.9.0 C API using bower. This means I'm grabbing
the followings:
  - resource/csdk
  - resource/oc_logger/c
  - resource/oc_logger/include
  - extlibs/cjson
- I'm building it using node-gyp and linking it statically to the C++
files containing the bindings

I've separately cloned the iotivity repo and doxygenerated the C API
from master. I'm going through it, binding one function at a time,
manually for now, though I have some plans to look at node-libclang
for parsing the headers.

I've run into an unexpected hurdle though: It seems some of the
functions included in the generated API documentation are actually
internal functions. For example, CreateNewOptionNode() is marked as
internal in the header file:
```
// Internal function to create an option node for coap pdu
```

Unless I've failed to notice an existing way of distinguishing what is
public from what is private I guess it would be real nice like if
public API could be wrapped in macros like IOTIVITY_EXTERN() or
something.

So, how do I distinguish the public API from the internal functions?

Another confusing issue:

Both resource/csdk and resource/csdk/connectivity/lib claim to contain
libcoap-4.1.1, yet the code inside the two libcoap-4.1.1
subdirectories differs. This makes it kinda hard to compile it all
into one big fat static library, so I've skipped the connectivity
stuff for now.

Please let me know, and thanks for all your help so far,



Gabriel
