// class OnDemandServer :
//    A basic on-demand server launcher supporting a single named service port
//
// Example Usage :
//
//  kern_return_t result;
//  OnDemandServer* server = OnDemandServer::Create("/tmp/myserver",
//                                                  "com.MyCompany.MyServiceName",
//                                                  true,
//                                                  &result);
//
//  if (server) {
//    server->LaunchOnDemand();
//    mach_port_t service_port = GetServicePort();
//
//    // Send a mach message to service_port and "myserver" will be launched
//  }
//
//
//                  ---- Now in the server code ----
//
//  // "myserver" should get the service port and read the message which
//  // launched it:
//  mach_port_t service_rcv_port_;
//  kern_return_t kr = bootstrap_check_in(bootstrap_port,
//                                      "com.MyCompany.MyServiceName",
//                                      &service_rcv_port_);
//  // mach_msg() read service_rcv_port_ ....
//
//  ....
//
//  // Later "myserver" may want to unregister the service if it doesn't
//  // want its bootstrap service to stick around after it exits.
//
//  // DO NOT use mach_port_deallocate() here -- it will fail and the
//  // following bootstrap_register() will also fail leaving our service
//  // name hanging around forever (until reboot)
//  kern_return_t kr = mach_port_destroy(mach_task_self(), service_rcv_port_);
//
//  kr = bootstrap_register(bootstrap_port,
//                          "com.MyCompany.MyServiceName",
//                          MACH_PORT_NULL);
