Hi Lars, I've actually never used ZeroMQ but it seems
interesting. There exists a binding called dzmq[1], but there are
no immediate examples.

Anyhow, if I may, I'd like to suggest a few things:

* Add a license file to your repository. I see that it's under
the Boost Software License from the documentation, though.

* Create a package.json and add it to the DUB registry[2]. I have
taken the liberty at making a simple package.json that may work
but is untested[3].
