Josh Wills resolved CRUNCH-176.
-------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 0.6.0

Agreed-- nice fixes. I made a couple of tweaks: first, I added runAsync() to the list of built-in methods, and second, I marked the Pipeline object used by CrunchTool as transient so that serialization will work properly (Pipeline instances are not usually serializable.)  Thanks Dave!

> CrunchTool is a really handy way to start a Crunch job, but it unnecessarily limits some of the features of Pipeline. 
> Some suggested improvements:
> - run() and done() methods could return the PipelineResult returned by the pipeline
> - CrunchTool could be Serializable so you don't have to remember to add this to yourself after writing anonymous DoFns
> - add materialize method?
> - could even provide access to the underlying pipeline object via a protected getter?
