Description

Attached is a manual for the Thrift compiler in mdoc format, and a patch to eliminate the brutal 80-line error message that was usage(). The man page may be previewed at http://www.schemamania.org/thrift/thrift.pdf. The tail end is incomplete because the information didn't happen to be included in the usage() text. I hope you agree the manual is easier to read and more convenient to use.
