+Project FB303: The Facebook Bassline
+------------------------------------
+
+* Curious about the 303? *
+http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_TB-303
+
+* Why the name? *
+The TB303 makes bass lines.
+.Bass is what lies underneath any strong tune.
+..fb303 is the shared root of all thrift services.
+...fb303 => FacebookBase303.
+
+* How do I use this? *
+Take a look at the examples to see how your backend project can
+and should inherit from this service.
+
+* What does it provide? *
+A standard interface to monitoring, dynamic options and configuration,
+uptime reports, activity, etc.
+
+* I want more. *
+Think carefully first about whether the functionality you are going to add
+belongs here or in your application. If it can be abstracted and is generally
+useful, then it probably belongs somewhere in the fb303 tree. Keep in mind,
+not every product has to use ALL the functionality of fb303, but every product
+CANNOT use functionality that is NOT in fb303.
+
+* Is this open source? *
+Yes. fb303 is distributed under the Thrift Software License. See the
+LICENSE file for more details.
+
+* Installation *
+fb303 is configured/built/installed similar to Thrift.  See the README
+in the Thrift root directory for more information.
+
+* Who wrote this README? *

+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_BOOST_BASE([MINIMUM-VERSION])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Test for the Boost C++ libraries of a particular version (or newer)
+#
+#   If no path to the installed boost library is given the macro
+#   searchs under /usr, /usr/local, /opt and /opt/local and evaluates
+#   the $BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Further documentation is
+#   available at <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
+#
+#   This macro calls:
+#
+#     AC_SUBST(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) / AC_SUBST(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
+#
+#   And sets:
+#
+#     HAVE_BOOST
+#

+
+/**
+ * ServiceTracker is a utility class for logging and timing service
+ * calls to a fb303 Thrift server.  Currently, ServiceTracker offers
+ * the following features:
+ *
+ *   . Logging of service method start, end (and duration), and
+ *     optional steps in between.
+ *
+ *   . Automatic check of server status via fb303::getStatus()
+ *     with a ServiceException thrown if server not alive
+ *     (at method start).
+ *
+ *   . A periodic logged checkpoint reporting lifetime time, lifetime
+ *     service count, and per-method statistics since the last checkpoint
+ *     time (at method finish).
+ *
+ *   . Export of fb303 counters for lifetime and checkpoint statistics
+ *     (at method finish).
+ *
+ *   . For TThreadPoolServers, a logged warning when all server threads
+ *     are busy (at method start).  (Must call setThreadManager() after
+ *     ServiceTracker instantiation for this feature to be enabled.)
+ *
+ * Individual features may be enabled or disabled by arguments to the
+ * constructor.  The constructor also accepts a pointer to a logging
+ * method -- if no pointer is passed, the tracker will log to stdout.
+ *
+ * ServiceTracker defines private methods for service start, finish,
+ * and step, which are designed to be accessed by instantiating a
+ * friend ServiceMethod object, as in the following example:
+ *
+ *    #include <ServiceTracker.h>
+ *    class MyServiceHandler : virtual public MyServiceIf,
+ *                             public facebook::fb303::FacebookBase
+ *    {
+ *    public:
+ *      MyServiceHandler::MyServiceHandler() : mServiceTracker(this) {}
+ *      void MyServiceHandler::myServiceMethod(int userId) {
+ *        // note: Instantiating a ServiceMethod object starts a timer
+ *        // and tells the ServiceTracker to log the start.  Might throw
+ *        // a ServiceException.
+ *        ServiceMethod serviceMethod(&mServiceTracker,
+ *                                   "myServiceMethod",
+ *                                   userId);
+ *        ...
+ *        // note: Calling the step method tells the ServiceTracker to
+ *        // log the step, with a time elapsed since start.
+ *        serviceMethod.step("post parsing, begin processing");
+ *        ...
+ *        // note: When the ServiceMethod object goes out of scope, the
+ *        // ServiceTracker will log the total elapsed time of the method.
+ *      }
+ *      ...
+ *    private:
+ *      ServiceTracker mServiceTracker;
+ *    }
+ *
+ * The step() method call is optional; the startService() and
+ * finishService() methods are handled by the object's constructor and
+ * destructor.
+ *
+ * The ServiceTracker is (intended to be) thread-safe.
+ *
+ * Future:
+ *
+ *   . Come up with something better for logging than passing a
+ *     function pointer to the constructor.
+ *
+ *   . Add methods for tracking errors from service methods, e.g.
+ *     ServiceTracker::reportService().
