Cap'n Proto - Insanely Fast Data Serialization Format

Cap'n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based
RPC system. Think JSON, except binary. Or think of Google's Protocol Buffers
(http://protobuf.googlecode.com), except faster. In fact, in benchmarks,
Cap'n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers.
This package contains the C++ runtime implementation of Cap'n Proto. To build
and use it, you will first need to install the Cap'n Proto compiler, capnpc,
which comes in a separate package.
Full installation and usage instructions and other documentation are maintained
on the Cap'n Proto web site:
http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/install.html
WARNING: You must be using either GCC 4.7+ or Clang 3.2+. On OSX, Xcode 4's
command-line tools are NOT sufficient -- see the web site for step-by-step
instructions to get Clang 3.2 working on OSX.
WARNING: Cap'n Proto requires a modern compiler. See the above link for
detailed requirements.
To build and install (from a release package), simply do:
./configure
