Persistent AST and google sparsehash

[Adam Treat]

Yah, I discovered Boost too, but I'm leaning towards just serializing the AST 
ourselves.  Like Jakob said, we already have a visitor and everything :)

But that leads me to a question...  why are you using Boost for the teamwork 
plugin?  It seems you've also created your own networking lib instead of 
using Qt's.  Is this because you wanted the teamwork layer (or perhaps the 
server) not to have a dependency on Qt?

If it is not a technical reason, I'd really rather use Qt instead of Boost.  
All of KDevelop is going to already depend upon Qt and any server you have 
for KDevelop will probably require KDevelop installed on the machine.  It 
also seems like a lot to redo the networking layer instead of using Qt's 
networking classes.

I've also had a look at your branch code.  Can you define a style that it is 
in?  I had a brief try and merging it with trunk, but I couldn't make heads 
or tails of it.

Cheers, Adam
