Does not interoperate with mosquitto or IBM Java (IA92) MQTT clients

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've been testing to see how interoperable this implementation is with other 
MQTT v3 implementations.

If I attempt to use the mosquitto_pub C utility from the mosquitto project, the 
client application hangs when it attempts to publish.

If I use the IA92 Java GUI from IBM, it successfully connects and can 
publish/subscribe, but it hangs on disconnect.

Raised on mosquitto tracker (Launchpad) too as I'm not sure which side the 
issue lies - https://bugs.launchpad.net/mosquitto/+bug/619487 (although I think 
the implication of IA92 not fully working either is that mqtt4erl may have a 
problem)

I believe that the issue lies with mqtt4erl.

Section 3.14 of the MQTT spec says "A server should not rely on the client to 
close the TCP/IP connection after receiving a DISCONNECT." It doesn't appear as 
though mqtt4erl closes the connection on receiving a DISCONNECT command.

I have fixed this issue on a fork of this project here: 
http://code.google.com/p/my-mqtt4erl/

Maybe they change could be merged into this project?

I've added my-mqtt4erl to the software page on mqtt.org while this project is 
dormant
