Replace these with versions built using an older toolset (so as to avoid ABI compatibilities when linking on Ubuntu 14.04 for packaging purposes)

cannam@48 5 Cap'n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based
cannam@48 6 RPC system. Think JSON, except binary. Or think of Google's Protocol Buffers
cannam@48 7 (http://protobuf.googlecode.com), except faster. In fact, in benchmarks,
cannam@48 8 Cap'n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers.

cannam@48 14 WARNING: Cap'n Proto requires a modern compiler. See the above link for
cannam@48 15 detailed requirements.

cannam@48 17 To build and install (from a release package), simply do:
cannam@48 18 ./configure
cannam@48 19 make -j4 check
cannam@48 20 sudo make install
cannam@48 21
cannam@48 22 The -j4 allows the build to use up to four processor cores instead of one.
cannam@48 23 You can increase this number if you have more cores. Specifying "check"
cannam@48 24 says to run tests in addition to building. This can be omitted to make the
cannam@48 25 build slightly faster, but running tests and reporting failures back to the
cannam@48 26 developers helps us out!
