Comment:

 I decided that I want to architect the local facilitator programs
 differently, so this ticket is pending until I do that. This is how I
 expect it to break down:

  * `flashproxy-reg-daemon`: This is a daemon that reads base64-encoded
 encrypted registrations and passes them to the facilitator. Basically the
 common parts of `facilitator-email-poller` and `facilitator-reg-url` in a
 standalone daemon. This is the only process with access to private key
 material.
  * `flashproxy-reg`: Unprivileged process that reads a base64-encoded
 encrypted client registration and passes it to `flashproxy-reg-daemon`.
  * `flashproxy-email-poller`: Calls `flashproxy-reg` rather than doing its
 own decryption.
  * `flashproxy.cgi`: Calls `flashproxy-reg` rather than making a
 connection directly to `flashproxy-reg-daemon` (or `flashproxy-reg-url` as
 it is implemented so far in the ticket).
