run custom server on one's own hardware #222

In the long run, it might be nice if it were possible to run a chrometophone 
server on one's own machine (i.e. not on GAE, but something running on one's 
personal server machine), and configure the chrome and android clients to point 
to it.

It's open source, you can use the code but you'll need to change the name and 
few 
other things.

The server-side code should work in any servlet engine - you'll need to install 
a JDO library and configure it, but I don't think there is anything specific to 
appengine.

1. Rename the app and change the package - you can't use the same name 
(conflicts on market or on phone if both are installed)
2. Change the android code and extension to point to the new URL
3. Change the android code and server side to use a new user name as sender - 
the code is open but the password to send messages must be private

There is no point in adding an option - only the chrometophone server has the 
credentials to send messages for the sender declared by the android app.

I'm doing this for my testing - except I still use a (different) appengine app, 
it's easier to deploy.
