Christopher Piro 2f5afceeaa [thrift] preliminary Erlang support (initial import)
Summary:
 * missing {list,map,set}s, inheritance is spotty
 * loose source code, plus everything is one process (application / gen_server behavior is forthcoming)
 * codegen is a mess, need t_fp_generator

Test Plan:
 * codegen invoked without -erl generates identical code for test/
 * calculatorHandler plus 'thrift -erl -r tutorial.thrift' more or less works

Revert Plan: ok

Thrift Tutorial

Tutorial
========

1) First things first, you'll need to install the Thrift compiler and the
   language libraries. Do that using the instructions in the top level
   README file.

2) Read tutorial.thrift to learn about the syntax of a Thrift file

3) Run tutorial.thrift to compile the code:

     ./tutorial.thrift

4) Take a look at the generated code.

5) Look in the language directories for sample client/server code.

6) That's about it for now. This tutorial is intentionally brief. It should be
   just enough to get you started and ready to build your own project.
