How to program for the WPS - Short overview

Writing a new WPS class is a three step process.

1. Write your class definition in the SOM Interface Definition Language (IDL).
2. Compile the class definition using the SOM Compiler.
3. Compile the source files emitted by the SOM Compiler using your C compiler.

As can be seen there's no magic behind these steps and the only unusual part is creating the IDL file.
