Create a transparent proxy for test programs to use, with the

lib/cros_test_proxy.py

Is this meant to be called directly?  If it's just a library it shouldn't have
this at the top (reserved for things we call directly)

[dgarrett, 2010/12/09 00:48:38]

Um... I had a main I used for initial testing, but should probably pull it out
now.

Is there any better way to end this?  i.e. create a close function that sets
some value in a critical section in another thread and watch for it here (in
another critical section)

[dgarrett, 2010/12/09 00:48:38]

The only reason I see for introducing another thread is so that incoming and
outgoing packets are handled separately. However, I find it kinda handy to have
them single threaded. It makes the delay type tests much easier to write, and
doesn't affect general performance enough to care.

[sosa, 2010/12/07 17:49:23]

Is there a way to be more specific with the exception ... i.e. wait on a
specific type of error?

[dgarrett, 2010/12/09 00:48:38]

Done.

Can you comment on what are these constants?
