+FC stands for fast-compiling c++ library and provides a set of utility libraries useful
+for the development of asynchronous libraries.  Some of the highlights include:
+
+ - Cooperative Multi-Tasking Library with support for Futures, mutexes, signals.
+ - Wrapper on Boost ASIO for handling async opperations cooperatively with easy to code synchronous style.
+ - Reflection for C++ allowing automatic serialization in Json & Binary of C++ Structs 
+ - Automatic generation of client / server stubs for reflected interfaces with support for JSON-RPC
+ - Cryptographic Primitives for a variaty of hashes and encryption algorithms
+ - Logging Infrastructure 
+ - Wraps many Boost APIs, such as boost::filesystem, boost::thread, and boost::exception to acceleate compiles
+ - Support for unofficial Boost.Process library.
