[Cuis] Choosing an HTTP framework

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Folks,

So far we have nice opinions and ongoing work on both Zinc and 
WebClient. There's no reason not to have both.

The relevant packages are:
https://github.com/garduino/Cuis-Pharo14CompatibilityLayer
https://github.com/garduino/Cuis-Zinc

https://github.com/davidgraham/Cuis-WebClient

Please keep the ball rolling! I won't be able to dig into this right 
now. (I want to work on Cypress/FileTree). But please keep advancing on 
these.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
