Create a USB-based way to connect to ponyd #113

Often, I work in coffee shops. And there's never any telling how the routers in coffee shops are configured.

Frequently, they don't play friendly with Bonjour. In these cases, I have to take out my mobile hotspot exclusively so I can have a router correctly configured for this use.

It would be nice to have a USB-based way to connect to ponyd, if only for ease of setup and configuration, but also for working in coffee shops with wacky routers.

If you have a jailbroken device, you can ssh over USB to it. You could probably make some proxy using ssh that goes from the server to the client (eg. reverse direction) and then use that.
