> Standard protobuf 2.5.0 does not work properly on many platforms.  (See, for example, https://gist.github.com/BennettSmith/7111094 ).  In order for us to avoid crazy work arounds in the build environment and the fact that 2.5.0 is starting to slowly disappear as a standard install-able package for even Linux/x86, we need to either upgrade or self bundle or something else.
