 * @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
 * VO Hub. The has_hub() method signals whether VO Hub information was
 * found.
 *
 * The connect() method will connect the client to the VO Hub. If no VO
 * Hub has been found or if the VO Hub that was found is not alive the
 * client will start an own VO Hub using the GVOHub class. The
 * is_connected() method signals whether the client is connected to a
 * Hub.
 * 
 * The disconnect() method disconnects a client from the VO Hub.
