Add Apache Thrift 0.18.1 runtime libraries.

[hdclark]

Please read http://mxe.cc/#creating-packages

In particular, make sure that your build rules:

• install .pc file,
• install bin/test-pkg.exe compiled with flags by pkg-config,
• install .dll to bin/ and .a, .dll.a to lib/,
• use $(TARGET)-cmake instead of cmake,
• build in $(BUILD_DIR) instead of $(SOURCE_DIR),
• do not run target executables with Wine,
• do not download anything while building,
• do not install documentation,
• do not install .exe files except test and build systems,

and .patch files are generated by tools/patch-tool-mxe.

If you add a package, you can use tool tools/skeleton.py.

Thanks!

This commit adds Apache Thrift RPC v0.17.0 runtime libraries (note: not the thrift compiler).

The build stage includes a minor 'dynamic patch' to fix Windows case-insensitivity. An upstream patch has been proposed, see apache/thrift#2649 .

Also note that I'm planning to use this for DICOMautomaton, which already uses MXE for Windows builds. (Thanks!!)

@mabrand: is this something you could take a look at?

[hdclark]

@mabrand any possibility of this being merged? I'm planning to be away for the next few weeks and want to be around if there are questions or concerns.
