  Description     : software framework for cross-language services development (compiler)

Thrift is a development framework for serialization of structured data, 
and the construction of RPC services. It combines a software stack with
a code generation engine to build services that operate seamlessly 
across a number of different development languages.

This package contains the compiler needed to generate code from a Thrift
services specification.

The description is mostly copy-and-paste from the website and will need
some work, (suggestions welcome).

Note: This ITP (and others) will replace #524135
