[Shr-User] Offline SHR Manager - First Release 0.1

[Baruch Even]

Hi,

I hacked such a thing, currently it only shows the GSM signal strength, 
not very useful, but it's a proof-of-concept.

I export a rest-like interface at /api/0.1/gsm/status that returns json, 
essentially it's a simple bridge to dbus.

I then used html and javascript to load this data in the background with 
a refresh button to reload it. It works nicely. I used jQuery for the ajax.

For myself I only need a gpx export of the tracks from tangogps. What 
would others want to do with such a web interface to their phone?
