[ANN] Namecoin RPC interface in C++

[domob]

I guess this would work for Bitcoin, too?

Yes, the JSON-RPC part should work also with Bitcoin, as well as querying / verifying addresses and message signing. Obviously all the other stuff (names, name registration, name update) not. Do you have a particular application in mind?

Currently there's no support of transactions and balances in there because I don't (or didn't so far) need that for Moneychanger (which is actual top priority). But if you have a particular need, I can add it of course.

I suggested it to Anu for ZeroReserve: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295930.0

He certainly would need transactions and even raw transactions. But seems to prefer including a full node inside ZeroReserve atm so don't rush.

Ah, I see! But then libcoin or libbitcoin would be a better choice, right? (Or maybe even btcd if binding to Go is not a problem.) With libnmcrpc, he would need a bitcoind running; this could of course be packaged in addition if desired.

Just pushed IDN support, which helps when handling non-ASCII domain names. Also, do you think it would be useful to do a formal release already and, for instance, write a how-to on the bulk name registration / update tools included? One must not be afraid of the command-line to use them (although someone could write a UI for them), but they are not actually hard to use and work very well for me.
