New Frontend™ progress report

[‮ittaG ordnasselA]

Since I used the Erlang frontend as an example while doing Goleg and now it's gone, I'd like to know what's needs to be done so I know what to do and when the new frontend will be ready for merging.

Missing Features

• Basic Get/Set a6e7067
• Cursor iteration 4b21c97 6d6ed73
• Prefix matching 7dca943 ef54951 3f04060
• CAS support

Other stuff

• Sample config a6e7067
• Updated makefile a6e7067
• Frontend Tests (Check #127) IN PROGRESS 0f7db08 a603f16
• Force linking against local library 349d3bb
• Update olegdb.org documentation with API changes 2ac3071

Tell me if I forgot something.

As I said on IRC, if you think we should edit how the API work, speak up, it's better to decide before I implement stuff.

It was never implemented in the Erlang frontend, but I'd like support for cas, too.

Edit: Another awesome thing to have would be frontend tests, we currently have none.

I don't know Travis' status for Go stuff, so it'd be best if you do those settings yourself, my buildbots have all Go installed, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'll see what I can do with testing…

I can setup the travis stuff, I've already done it for tenyks.
