 Supports simple operations such as:
-	- Pin mode/direction (input/output/clock/pwm,alt0,alt1,alt2,alt3,alt4,alt5)
-	- Pin write (high/low)
-	- Pin read (high/low)
-	- Pin edge detection (no/rise/fall/any)
-	- Pull up/down/off

+       - Pin read (high/low)
+       - Pin edge detection (no/rise/fall/any)

 Also clock/pwm related oparations:
-	- Set Clock frequency

 And SPI oparations:

 Example of use:

+       defer rpio.Close()
 
-	pin := rpio.Pin(4)

 The library use the raw BCM2835 pinouts, not the ports as they are mapped
 on the output pins for the raspberry pi, and not the wiringPi convention.
