implementation of blocking input

[Ross Lambert]

Hi Bill,

I would love to see this implemented in Netty. Our use cases are almost all asynch/non-blocking and Netty has therefore been a fantastic foundation for us. But we have one very irritating case which would be best coded as a blocking call, exactly as you have described it. By "best" I mean least amount of code for me. :-)

I may have some cycles next week for this if you want/need any help. Otherwise, please let me know when you're done, especially if you need a tester. Feel free to contact me directly.

Thanks!

Thats the plan!  I just wanted to get some feedback from here.
