Using files as sockets

Functions
xbt_socket_t	gras_socket_client_from_file (const char *path)
xbt_socket_t	gras_socket_server_from_file (const char *path)

Detailed Description

For debugging purpose, it is possible to deal with files as if they were sockets. It can even be useful to store stuff in a portable manner, but writing messages to a file may be strange...

Bug:

Don't use '-' on windows. this file represents stdin or stdout, but I failed to deal with it on windows.
