Plugin for presenting an IPFS gateway over i2p. This is only the gateway part, A.K.A. the easy part. It will make your IPFS gateway accessible via i2p clients, but it will not route communication between IPFS nodes over i2p(1). This means that it doesn't make your IPFS instance anonymous, it just makes it accssible to clients anonymously(2). It simply takes advantage of the plugin system to set up some hidden services when the IPFS plugin is initialized. It does this by reading the IPFS config file to find the ports that have been configured by the admin running IPFS, then using the SAM API to forward those ports to I2P. Once they are forwarded, a config file is generated containing the i2p configuration and it's base32 and base64 addresses. This is stored in a file called "i2pconfig." Finally, it simply forwards the IPFS gateway to I2P.
