> 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?
