/**
 * @fileoverview Gadget-side PubSub library for gadget-to-gadget communication.
 * 
 * Uses OpenAjax Hub in order to do pubsub.  Simple case is to do the following:
 *    
 *    gadgets.util.registerOnLoadHandler(function() {
 *      gadgets.Hub.subscribe(topic, callback);
 *      // OR
 *      gadgets.Hub.publish(topic2, message);
 *    });
 * 
 * The gadgets.Hub object implements the OpenAjax.hub.HubClient interface.
 * 
 * By default, a HubClient is instantiated automatically by the pubsub-2 code.
 * If the gadget wants to provide params to the HubClient constructor, it can
 * do so by setting values on gadgets.HubSettings object:
 * 
 *     gadgets.HubSettings = {
 *         // Parameters object for HubClient constructor.
 *         // @see http://openajax.org/member/wiki/OpenAjax_Hub_2.0_Specification_Managed_Hub_APIs#OpenAjax.hub.HubClient_constructor
 *         // @see http://openajax.org/member/wiki/OpenAjax_Hub_2.0_Specification_Managed_Hub_APIs#OpenAjax.hub.IframeHubClient_constructor
 *         params: {},
 *         // Callback that is invoked when connection to parent is established,
 *         // or when errors occur.
 *         // @see http://openajax.org/member/wiki/OpenAjax_Hub_2.0_Specification_Managed_Hub_APIs#OpenAjax.hub.HubClient.prototype.connect
 *         onConnect: 
 *     }
 * 
 * For example, to set a security alert callback:
 * 
 *     gadgets.HubSettings.params.HubClient.onSecurityCallback =
 *             function(alertSource, alertType) { ... };
 * 
 * @see http://openajax.org/member/wiki/OpenAjax_Hub_2.0_Specification_Managed_Hub_APIs#OpenAjax.hub.HubClient
