We need to have a short wiki page or documentation that describes the 
basic steps in introducing a new resource record type. I tried to 
suggest this a sprint task during our face to face, but I was 
misunderstood or it was not desired then.

- copy what file? update what headers? what headers/files are generated?

- sample implementation to look at?

- reusing code? making new shared code for other RR types?

- what makefiles to change? what entries to add?

- sample unit tests? what unit test files to consider copying as a base?

- where to put unit tests? what should the unit tests cover?

- makefile changes for unit tests?

- other related parts?
