Standards-based cluster framework (daemon and modules, whitetank tree)

The openais project is a project to implement a production quality
"Revised BSD" licensed implementation of the SA Forum's Application
Interface Specification. The project implements cutting edge research
on virtual synchrony to provide 100% correct operation in the face of
failures or partitionable networks with excellent performance
characteristics.

The Application Interface Specification is a software API and policies
which are used to develop applications that maintain service during
faults.
The API consists of Availability Management Framework (AMF) which
provides application failover, Cluster Membership (CLM),
Checkpointing (CKPT), Event (EVT), Messaging (MSG), and
Distributed Locks (DLOCK).

This package contains the aisexec daemon and modules.

The main difference between the openais-packages and the openais-
legacy packages is that the latter ones contain the openais-legacy
tree, version 0.80.5+svn, which is called "whitetank tree".
