New Feature Request - State Machine

[Trustin Lee]

That's the cool state machine implementation by Niklas, right?  :D

I'd love to import it into Netty codebase, too!  What I'd like to do is
to analyse the issues with Niklas's current implementation and write it
from scratch to avoid possible copyright issues (I don't want to be
bothered by some people I don't want to interact.)  It would be great to
get some help from Niklas, but it seemed like he's quite busy these days
unfortunately.

So, please keep us updated with your requirements on the state machine -
what could be improved and what could be fixed.

Cheers,
Trustin
