Changes for version 0.10
- The architecture has changed a lot. Now the master worker's run() method will actually call the run() method of the RemoteWorkers, instead of only letting them broadcast their remote __methods. This has some implications: notably, one can no longer call a __method with a coderef as argument to let it run at the master worker level, this the real execution of run() is now done at the remote worker level. Remote methods (__methods) can now return values. The local worker will send the values to the server between the '/begin_return' and the '/end_return' tokens. This allows for the run() method to be more complexe than just running the __methods one after the other (e.g., it can test on the success or failure of one method and decide whether or not to run the others).
