[sldev] Google data exchange format

[Christian Scholz / Tao Takashi (SL)]

Just FYI: Kenton Varda of Google released the Python version now as a
Python Egg:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/protobuf

Besides that I also created an IRC channel on freenode (#protobuf) and
the Google Group seems to be quite active so I would suppose that it
will gain quite some traction. All in all it's also a good example of
how open sourcing an internal project can work.
