Title: Add composer.json

[Composer](http://getcomposer.org) is a new dependency manager for PHP. It allows you to specify dependencies on a per-project basis. It takes lots of inspiration from NPM and ruby's bundler.

All you need to support composer is a composer.json file. In order to allow easy installation, the repository needs to be added to [packagist](http://packagist.org/), which is the standard repository for composer. Packagist will fetch all the versions from your github repository tags.

Once it has been added, adding php-zabbix-sender to a project will be as easy as creating this composer.json file in the project's directory:

{
"require": {
"okitsu/zabbix-sender": "*"
}
}

And running this command:

$ php composer.phar install

Note: Packagist will re-crawl github for new versions all the time. After submitting it once, you don't have to do anything else.

Check out the following information on composer and packagist:

* [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/)
* [packagist.org](http://packagist.org)
* [composer on GitHub](https://github.com/composer/composer)
* #composer on irc.freenode.net

Cheers!
