Implementation of Bitcoin mining pool on Stratum protocol

#Description Stratum-mining is a pooled mining protocol. It is a replacement for getwork based pooling servers by allowing clients to generate work. The stratum protocol is described here in full detail.

This is a implementation of stratum-mining for scrypt based coins. It is compatible with mmcfe-ng as well as mmcfe, as it complies with the standards of pushpool. The end goal is to build on these standards to come up with a more stable solution.

The goal is to make a reliable stratum mining server for scrypt based coins. Over time I will develop this to be more feature rich and very stable. If you would like to see a feature please file a feature request.

NOTE: This fork is still in development. Many features may be broken. Please report any broken features or issues.
