RFC 6242 (NETCONF over SSH) compliance

[David Charlap]

I have gone through RFC 6242 (NETCONF over SSH).  I have prepared the following summary of libnetconf's compliance.  I believe it is correct.  Could you please post any corrections if something is not correct.

(I will be posting additional messages later today for RFCs 5277, 5717, 6020, 6991, 6243 and 6470.)

Thanks in advance,
