- Makefile: Use $(CXX) for compiling C++ files,
  don't override the environment's value of $CXX

- build_detect_platform: use $CXX instead of g++.

Based on bug report from Theo Schlossnagle:
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=46

(Sync with uptream at 25807040.)

- Added DB::CompactRange() method.

  Changed manual compaction code so it breaks up compactions of
  big ranges into smaller compactions.

  Changed the code that pushes the output of memtable compactions
  to higher levels to obey the grandparent constraint: i.e., we
  must never have a single file in level L that overlaps too
  much data in level L+1 (to avoid very expensive L-1 compactions).

  Added code to pretty-print internal keys.

- Fixed bug where we would not detect overlap with files in
  level-0 because we were incorrectly using binary search
  on an array of files with overlapping ranges.

  Added "leveldb.sstables" property that can be used to dump
  all of the sstables and ranges that make up the db state.

- Removing post_write_snapshot support.  Email to leveldb mailing
  list brought up no users, just confusion from one person about
  what it meant.

- Fixing static_cast char to unsigned on BIG_ENDIAN platforms.

  Fixes	Issue 35 and Issue 36.

- Comment clarification to address leveldb Issue 37.

- Change license in posix_logger.h to match other files.

- A build problem where uint32 was used instead of uint32_t.

Sync with upstream @24408625

Adding GNU/kFreeBSD support. As requested here:
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=38

Use uint64_t instead of size_t in MemEnvTest. As pointed out at
http://code.google.com/p/leveldb/issues/detail?id=41

- LevelDB patch for FreeBSD. This resolves Issue 22.
  Contributed by dforsythe (thanks!).

- Removing Chromium-specific files.
  They are now going to live in the Chromium repository.

- Adding a benchmark page comparing LevelDB performance
  to SQLite and Kyoto Cabinet's TreeDB, along with
  code to generate the benchmarks.
  Thanks to Kevin Tseng for compiling the benchmarks,
  and Scott Hess and Mikio Hirabayashi for their
  help and advice.

This revision adds two major changes:
1. build_detect_platform which generates build_config.mk
   with platform-dependent flags for the build process
2. /port/atomic_pointer.h with anAtomicPointerimplementation
   for platforms without <cstdatomic>

Some of this code is loosely based on patches submitted to the 
LevelDB mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/leveldb
Tip of the hat to Dave Smith and Edouard A, who both sent patches.

The presence of Snappy (http://code.google.com/p/snappy/) and
cstdatomic are now both detected in the build_detect_platform
script (1.) which gets executing during make.

For (2.), instead of broadly importing atomicops_* from Chromium or
the Google performance tools, we chose to just implement AtomicPointer 
and the limited atomic load and store operations it needs. 
This resulted in much less code and fewer files - everything is 
contained in atomic_pointer.h.
