論及 ronkyuu - mention, reference to, touching upon

Python package to help with parsing, handling and other manipulations of the IndieWeb Toolkit items, such as:
* [Webmention](http://indiewebcamp.com/webmention)
* Discovery of mentions in a publisher's post, the handling of finding what the Webmention callback is for the reference and also handling of incoming Webmention requests are handled.
* [RelMe](http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me)
* Take a source URL and a resource URL that is supposed to be a rel=me for the source and verify that it is.

See the examples/ directory for sample command line tools.

Because Ronkyuu uses BeautifulSoup4 for it's amazing HTML wrangling ability, you have the option of enabling faster parsing via the `lxml` package instead of the default `html5lib` package. This is done by having `lxml` installed and...

```
import ronkyuu

ronkyuu.webmention.setParser('lxml')
```
