Title: Futures

Hello,

Here is my first package of contributions...

Notable changes:

- Fixed .gitignore file (CMake has a folder called 'build' with c sources - so the repository is incomplete in it's current state - important to fix because anyone who wants to try to build the sdk have to figure this out - i had to subscribe to cmake mailling list it was so tricky - i get used to ignore build folders..)

- Introduced .tar.gz packages for the untouched dependency libraries (Please take a look at packages folder and the makefile) -I think it made a lot of noise in the git repo. committing thousands of non-core sources.

- Added patches folder for minorly midified dependecies

- Fixed building under windows 7 x64 with cygwin 32bit and java 64bit: The binutils target fails with documentation generation error so I had to use the '-i' option for skipping that (related to incompatibilities in texinfo and gettext package versions)
I think this helps widen the contributor range.

- I did not modified any of the source code except some minor changes, mostly i've worked on makefile and structuring.

- Introduced travis-ci building: https://travis-ci.org/vpmedia/crossbridge/builds/22856099
Shamefully building clang takes ages and the free service stops after 50minutes. Maybe with some kind of cached build it could be faster (Currently it's one of my internal development problems, many times minor changes are requiring to re-build most of the project, and it is really time consuming).

I'm sending this pull request because i think the project needs to attract more contributors and it's a good start.

Cheers!
