 *
 * The proxy IOF component is used in non-HNP processes.  It is used
 * to proxy all IOF actions back to the "svc" IOF component (i.e., the
 * IOF component that runs in the HNP).  The proxy IOF component is
 * typically loaded in an orted and then tied to the stdin, stdout,
 * and stderr streams of created child processes via pipes.  The proxy
 * IOF component in the orted then acts as the delay between the
 * stdin/stdout/stderr pipes and the svc IOF component in the HNP.
 * This design allows us to manipulate stdin/stdout/stderr from before
 * main() in the child process.
 *
 * Publish actions for SINKs are pushed back to the svc/HNP.  Publish
 * actions for SOURCEs are not pushed back to SINKs because all data
 * fragments from SOURCEs are automatically sent back to the svc/HNP.
 * 
 * All unpublish actions are pushed back to the svc/HNP (I'm not sure
 * why -- perhaps this is a bug?).
 *
 * Push and pull actions are essentially implemented in terms of
 * subscribe / unsubscribe.
 *
 * Subscribe / unsubscribe actions are fairly straightforward.
 *
 * Much of the intelligence of this component is actually contained in
 * iof_base_endpoint.c (reading and writing to local file descriptors,
 * setting up events based on file descriptors, etc.).  
 *
 * A non-blocking OOB receive is posted at the initializtion of this
 * component to receive all messages from the svc/HNP (e.g., data
 * fragments from streams, ACKs to fragments).
 *
 * Flow control is employed on a per-stream basis to ensure that
 * SOURCEs don't overwhelm SINK resources (E.g., send an entire input
 * file to an orted before the target process has read any of it).
 *
 * Important: this component is designed to work with the svc IOF
 * component only.  If we ever do a different IOF implementation
 * scheme, it is likely that only some of this component will be
 * useful for cannibalisation (if any at all).
