Rev 2 of Thrift, the Pillar successor
Summary: End-to-end communications and serialization in C++ is working
Reviewed By: aditya
Test Plan: See the new top-level test/ folder. It vaguely resembles a unit test, though it could be more automated.
Revert Plan: Revertible
Notes: Still a LOT of optimization work to be done on the generated C++ code, which should be using dynamic memory in a number of places. Next major task is writing the PHP/Java/Python generators.
