=head1 NAME

Wily::Connect - Connects to a running Wily text editor.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Wily::Connect;
  my $wily_socket = Wily::Connect::connect();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The connect sub connects to wily this involves creating a 
unix domain socket, listening on that socket, writing the
name of that socket to the fifo wily is reading from (either
$ENV{WILYFIFO} or if that doesn't exist
/tmp/wily[login]$ENV{DISPLAY}, and then accepting the
connection to the unix domain socket that wily will make.

The functions does all of that and hence may block while
waiting for wily.
