Implemented a Makefile system for Linux builds (could be extended for windows builds as well), see src/cpp/README.make for details. Included a cross-compiled native binary for MIPS architecture on Linux.
I forgot to add the readme to the last commit.

Good job, I will soon test ... |

Update: for various reasons, I don't trust my C++ cross-compile toolchain, so I'm not sure if the binaries in this pull request are dependable. For my purposes, I re-wrote the native library in C and cross-compiled that (and it's working perfectly on my MIPS processor board), but I am hesitant to commit those binaries since they are not a direct reflection of the source as it stands in this repo. This might be a sign that binaries aren't meant to be committed to the source repository (after all, who's to say I didn't submit a binary that has malicious code hidden in it?). Anyway, I still think my proposed build system makes sense. |

This pull request provides a Makefile build system for linux builds of the native binary. To make a native binary for your current system, you would just need to type "make". To cross-compile a native binary for a different architecture, you can specify your crosstools and target in much the same way you can do so when compiling linux kernels. A readme is included.
I'm also including a pre-compiled native binary for the MIPS architecture running Linux. This addresses issue #58.
