ORBIT-USER: New grid control framework

[chris at orderonenetworks.com]

Sachin,

1) orbitHandler does make use of some of the nodeHandler functions.
Specifically when it comes to imaging nodes, orbitHandler pretends to be
nodeHandler, to cause the imaging to happen. Also it uses the nodeHandler
agent broadcasts to detect which nodes are up. The rest is independent.

2) Nope.. nothing special on the client is needed (besides the basic
nodehandler stuff that is installed by default)

Best Regards,
Chris
