rigctl basic support

[sq6emm]

Hey I am trying to use rigctl support... but its seems its support is experimental...
Is there any chance for improvements?

Lemme show the example below that should be self explanatory:

$ rigctl -vvvvvvvvvv -m 2 -r 127.0.0.1:4532
../../tests/rigctl.c(445) Startup: rigctl -vvvvvvvvvv -m 2 -r 127.0.0.1:4532

and just to make sure it works... but is not usable from any software that supports hamlib
