I've try to docuemnt it under doc/draft-zebra-00.txt.  But it totally
out of date.  So there is no up to-date documentation.

It seems good idea.  I'm tired doing manual pack/unpack.

Zebra protocol is very simple.  So I hope if there is a good way to
pack/unpack structure I want to try it.

I've not yet try ydr pack method.  But I'll try it ASAP.
