Feature: implement VIMS to interact with veejay

[dromer]

http://veejayhq.github.io

veejay has its own protocol for communication with remote clients, called VIMS: http://veejayhq.github.io/category/reference/vims-list/

there is a puredata external called sendVIMS, but of course it would be nicer to be able to add veejay in libossia directly: http://veejayhq.github.io/category/sendvims/sendvims-client-for-pure-data/

looks interesting, thanks !

I tried to build veejay on my machine (from the archlinux aur packages) but it gives me an M4 error during ./configure, any idea of how to test it ?

Build instructions are here: http://veejayhq.github.io/installing/

(I do not use Arch, but I can imagine that the user repos are of poor quality)

I'm getting the same error from the manual install steps (which does the same thing than the Arch package)
