This option was in an earlier revision of flatbuffers_generate_headers
but was lost while refactoring by mistake. We have it as a function
argument rather than one of the optional flags so that we can use it to
inform the rule where to place the generated headers, so that the file
location matches the prefix that will be added to the filenames in the
generated files.
Also fixed some of the documentation in the file.
flatbuffers_generate_headers is a function that can be used to generate Flatbuffers headers and binary headers. It uses named argument flags to wrap all the flags relevant to C++ header generation that flatc uses. It generates an interface library that can be added as a dependency of other targets.
flatbuffers_generate_binary_files is a function that can be used to generate Flatbuffers binaries. It uses named argument flags to wrap all the flags relevant to C++ binary generation from JSON file that flatc uses. It generates an interface library that can be added as a dependency of other targets.
The pop_back function was added to strings in C++11 and it appears not
all compilers we target support it. The call to pop_back has been
replaced with a call to erase.
Tested on Linux. All unit tests pass.
FlatBuffer schema files can now optionally specify a hash attribute that
will allow someone writing json files to enter a string to be hashed
rather than a specific value. The hashing algorithm to use is specified
by the schema.
Currently the only algorithms are fnv1 and fnv1a. There are 32 bit and
64 variatns for each. Additionally, a hashing command line tool was
added so that you can see what a string will hash to without needing to
inspect the flatbuffer binary blob.

Added a call to $(strip) to the parameters of
`flatbuffers_header_build_rules` so that newlines can be used when
passing arguments to it.

Previously Android.mk only had a rule for the Flatbuffers test. There
is now an empty module definition so that flatbuffers can be included
as an Android module in other projects.
Additionally, android/jni/include.mk has been added which contains
some utility functions that can be used by projects using Flatbuffers
to generate header build rules and set up dependencies.
A sample project has been added to the samples directory to
demonstrate how to use flatbuffers with Android.
Tested by compiling Android project on Linux.
