RingProvider uses a RingServer advertised TupleSpace as a name service. TupleSpace clients can register themselves with the remote TupleSpace and look up other provided services via the remote TupleSpace.
Services are registered with a tuple of the format [:name, klass, DRbObject, description].
Creates a RingProvider that will provide a klass service running on front, with a description.  renewer is optional.
 
               # File rinda/ring.rb, line 466
def initialize(klass, front, desc, renewer = nil)
  @tuple = [:name, klass, front, desc]
  @renewer = renewer || Rinda::SimpleRenewer.new
end
             
            Advertises this service on the primary remote TupleSpace.
 
               # File rinda/ring.rb, line 474
def provide
  ts = Rinda::RingFinger.primary
  ts.write(@tuple, @renewer)
end
