Description

The next-gen-native-client-software-grant branch [1] contains the GemFire native client. In order to merge this code into the develop branch, we need to:

1) Review the code and determine what 3rd party libraries are bundled with the source and binary distributions. These will need to be properly attributed in the respective LICENSE and NOTICE files.

2) Update the source headers to remove old copyrights and replace with the Apache source header.

3) Improve the build process to make it simpler for contributors and users. This includes writing up build instructions.

4) Incorporate other suggestions from the community.
