Description

For the general documentation of Arrow, we want to use asciidoc. The "general documentation" includes:

• The Arrow spec / memory layout
• Howtos for building arrow on different platforms
• Getting Started snippets for each language and a link to the (to-be-build) API documentation

It would be nice to have a build system and the main file/folder structure in place so we can split the work up.
