Scatter tasks/jobs to workers

The core of Chiru is the Thoonk-Jobs.js library by my coworkers at &yet. See package.json details about other requirements.

At them moment all a Chiru worker does is receive a JSON manifest for a job, extract the js script name and then run that from the given worker scripts directory (which for now is assumed to be populated ahead of time.)

Usage

Launching a worker:

node worker.js

Launching the job service:

node server.js

Configuration

Chiru uses the getconfig module to load the runtime configuration and will select dev_config.json or production_config.json based on the NODE_ENV value at start: dev or production

See dev_config.json for the minimum configuration items.
