A library for c++ with (hopes) of achieving the following goals:

* lightweight - design on demand. implement api's on a necessity basis not for 
  completeness (for example, overloaded functions for all the possible datatypes 
  that can potentially be passed in)
* embeddable - compact enough to be used in an embedded device project
* portable - work across different OSs. initial goal is win32 and linux
* modern - provide libraries that have more modern api's and utilities 
  (like an http client) found in newer languages like c# or java.
* configurable - provide an easy way of configuring implementation aspects
* customizable - be able to take only parts of the library that are needed. 

The default std libraries that ship with win32, glibc, uclibc or yourfavouritelibc seem to be insufficient in a couple of ways and there seems to be a need to write c++ wrappers for a lot of functionality (threads, synchronization objects, datatype converters, sockets etc.). Additionally, some of the c library calls are not exactly portable across windows and linux. There are a couple of good opensource alternatives like boost or poco but they did not seem to fit the needs of being lightweight and portable.

To build, install cmake. Then go to build and type cmake ../ Then type make The unit tests get built under tests, lepcpplibTests. Logging can be disabled by commenting out -D__ENABLE_LOGGER_ from the top level CMakeLists.txt

# cd build
# cmake ../
# make
