TO REVIEW::
The 'frontend' is the existing shopping portal of the merchant.
The architecture tries to minimize the amount of modifications necessary
to the `frontend` as well as the trust that needs to be placed into the
`frontend` logic. Taler requires the frontend to facilitate two
JSON-based interactions between the wallet and the `backend`, and
one of those is trivial.
The 'backend' is a standalone C application intended to implement all
the cryptographic routines required to interact with the Taler wallet
and a Taler exchange.
