 * @class GVOClient
 *
 * @brief VO client class
 *
 * This class implements a client for the Virtual Observatory. Upon
 * construction of an instance of the class, the client will search for a
 * SAMP Hub. If no such Hub exists, a GammaLib owned Hub will be started
 * using the GVOHub class. Once a Hub is running, the client will retrieve
 * its information and store it.
 *
 * The connect() and disconnect() methods exist to connect or disconnect
 * from the Hub. Connecting means opening a socket to the Hub and registering
 * the client to the Hub.
