[Jonathan Druart]

*Bug 10662*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10662> - Build
OAI-PMH Harvesting Client
*Bug 15032*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15032> - [Plack]
Scripts that fork (like stage-marc-import.pl) don't work as expected

Basically we need a daemon watching a job queue (DB table) to answer all
these needs at once.
I have started something already, I will get back to it when I will have
time (and motivation).

Cheers,
Jonathan
