I think it would be valuable to have a netcat-like thing implemented
using chromium's stack because it would make certain kinds of
testing and debugging easier. (In particular, I'm looking at a hang
in the ssl tests that only happens in one strange environment, and
having a standalone app that just makes an ssl connection using
chromium's stack would be quite handy.)
