論及 ronkyuu - mention, reference to, touching upon

Python package to help with parsing, handling and other manipulations
of the IndieWeb Toolkit items, such as:
* [Webmention](http://indiewebcamp.com/webmention)
* Discovery of mentions in a publisher's post, the handling of finding what the Webmention callback is for the reference and also handling of incoming Webmention requests are handled.
* [RelMe](http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me)
* Take a source URL and a resource URL that is supposed to be a rel=me for the source and verify that it is.
