  \brief The service module provides a framework for implementing *nix
  daemons and Windows services.

  /** Singleton class that implements a daemon (*nix) or service
      (Windows).

      This class implements a *nix daemon or a Windows service.

      To implement a daemon or service, implement the required methods
      of this class, and link with service.cpp.  When compiled under
      *nix, the file service.cpp contains the definition of main for
      the *nix daemon.  When compiled under Windows, the file
      service.cpp contains the entry points for the Windows service.

      Nomenclature:

      <ol>

        <li>Service is a *nix daemon or Windows service.</li>

	<li>Message is a posix signal or Windows message.  This class
	supports the following messages:
	  <ol>

	    <li>Pause.  This is the posix TSTP signal or Windows Pause
	    message.  This instructs the service to temporarily stop
	    running.</li>

	    <li>Resume.  This is the posix CONT signal or Windows
	    Resume message.  This instructs the service to resume
	    running after receiving a Pause message.  If the service
	    isn't temporarily stopped after receiving a Pause message,
	    the Resume message has no effect.</li>

	    <li>Restart.  This is the posix HUP signal or Windows
	    Restart message.  This instructs the service to shut down
	    and restart.</li>

	    <li>Stop.  This is the posix TERM signal or Windows Stop
	    message.  This instructs the service to shut down and
	    exit.</li>

	  </ol>

	</li>

	<li>Callback.  This is a function that is executed when a
	message is received.</li>

      </ol>
