libtpproto-py will probably never have support for TP04, instead I will
be moving to libtpproto2-py.

libtpproto2-py will have a fairly backwards compatible interface (as far
as clients are concerned) but will use the protocol.xml file for
maintaining the frame format information. Where the changes are not
backwards compatible the changes will make things more consistent.

Other things that have been implemented in libtpproto2-py include
 - Properly thread safe
 - A much better way to handle pipe lining (no longer requiring
busy-wait).
 - Tests! (Yay!)
 - Improved error checking and "early failure" when things go wrong. 
 - Simulated "lag" for testing locally.

Almost all of the above features have already been implemented. I'm
really just waiting for a stable protocol.xml to finish it off. (However
got other priorities yet.)

This should drastically reduce the amount of time I spend fuzzing around
in the protocol library.
