Description

I think it is time for us to introduce yet another "subproject" of Bigtop for packaging build-time dependencies. Things like protobuf, libsnappy, etc. that we do NOT want to include into a distribution, but would benefit from having as build-time dependencies.

I propose that we simply introduce top-level bigtop-build that would parallel bigtop-package in a sense that it will provide packaging code for the projects that we need.

I'll start with packaging our toolchain, libsnappy, protobuf and thrift in there first and we can grow it to include other things that we may depend on.

Thoughts?
