Resolving issue #1 and the project's direction.

This pull request resolves #1. I'd also like to take this opportunity to discuss the goals that this project seeks to accomplish. I'm currently rewriting the README and the best way to do so is to understand fully the direction that this project is to go. If you're wondering why it's necessary to define such things, there's a lot of literature/blog posts/other things on the web from popular open source developers and corporations about how to run an open source project. From what I've seen, the best of the best all agree that defining goals is the best way to avoid conflict, unnecessarily rejected pull requests, and to encourage future contributions. To help the project mature, this should be done early and I think we should do that now.

So, @joelg236, where do you see the direction going? (I also added you on Facebook where it may be easier to discuss this.)
