Description
In an effort to learn about the Primo X-Server API, I have written a
simple Primo client. All it does is:

1. take a rudimentary query from the user
2. construct an X-Server request
3. send the request
4. get back an XML response
5. transform the response into HTML
6. return the HTML to the user
