[Make-wifi-fast] wavedroplet

I'm afraid if you have to ask that, this program might not be for you :)

There's a script called './start' in the toplevel directory. It
requires you to have the appengine SDK installed (unfortunately). In
retrospect, using appengine for this was a bad idea, but we all make
mistakes in our youth. But anyway, you can download the appengine SDK
and run a local copy for free, so you don't need actual appengine.
