cannam@133: Cap'n Proto is an insanely fast data interchange format and capability-based
cannam@133: RPC system.  Think JSON, except binary.  Or think of Google's Protocol Buffers
cannam@133: (http://protobuf.googlecode.com), except faster.  In fact, in benchmarks,
cannam@133: Cap'n Proto is INFINITY TIMES faster than Protocol Buffers.

cannam@133: WARNING: Cap'n Proto requires a modern compiler. See the above link for
cannam@133: detailed requirements.
cannam@133: 
cannam@133: To build and install (from a release package), simply do:
cannam@133:   ./configure
cannam@133:   make -j4 check
cannam@133:   sudo make install
cannam@133: 
cannam@133: The -j4 allows the build to use up to four processor cores instead of one.
cannam@133: You can increase this number if you have more cores.  Specifying "check"
cannam@133: says to run tests in addition to building.  This can be omitted to make the
cannam@133: build slightly faster, but running tests and reporting failures back to the
cannam@133: developers helps us out!
