Roland d3837b9fc3 Introduce parental supervision, BUT TESTS ARE STILL FAILING 
- every actor is now supervised, where the root of the tree is
  app.guardian, which has its supervisor field set to a special ActorRef
  obtained from provider.theOneWhoWalksTheBubblesOfSpaceTime (this name
  is meant to indicate that this ref is outside of the universe, cf.
  Michio Kaku)
- changed all tests to obtain specially supervised children (i.e. not
  top-level) via (supervisor ? Props).as[ActorRef].get
- add private[akka] ScalaActorRef.sendSystemMessage for sending
  Supervise()
- everything routing or remote is broken wrt. supervision, as that was
  not “properly” implemented to begin with, will be tackled after
  app/supervision/eventbus/AkkaSpec are stabilized enough

h1. Akka

We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.

Akka is here to change that.

Using the Actor Model together with Software Transactional Memory we raise the abstraction level and provide a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications.

For fault-tolerance we adopt the "Let it crash":http://letitcrash.com model which have been used with great success in the telecom industry to build applications that self-heal, systems that never stop.

Actors also provide the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.

Akka is Open Source and available under the Apache 2 License.
