I originally started this for personal use but it garnered support from the linux chan so I decided to continue working on it.

Sorry for the large commits but it's intended to be an (almost) drop-in replacement for the QT interface.

This is a purely functional pull request and should include most major functionality. Over the next few weeks, I'll add more comments, fix bugs, and introduce features which I may have overlooked.

I've never contributed to this project before, so please correct any errors or conventions I need to fix.

Looks nice. Would be useful on a server.

Thanks. By the way, I apologize for the recent lack of progress, I've
gotten bogged down by finals. In a few weeks I'll have plenty of time to
continue development.

@piluke
Thank you for your work on the cli interface.
My experience shows that it is best to maintain extra features like these in one's own repo. You can simply query BM via API calls. If this gets merged into the main BM repo, then every time you needed to add a fix, you'd be creating a new pull request which had to be reviewed by some other dev. This would be rather cumbersome.

Isn't that the case for every project on Github anyway?

awesome work, but it's not very stable and it doesn't really work with the the python-dialog package on ubuntu, you need to specifically install python2-pythondialog with pip.

Very nice start, also considering it makes it easier to debug stuff when you're running bitmessage on a server as daemon, but needs to polishing :D
