Interface between mongoDB and the Next Scripting Framework

Ingredients:
  https://github.com/mongodb/mongo
  https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver 

The current version is tested with 
- MongoDB v2.4.5
- mongodb-c-driver v0.7.1

Compile or obtain mongodb (the database).
Compile or obtain the mongo-c-driver (client interface)
Install the mongo-c-driver

Assume, Tcl is under /usr/local/ns/lib and the source of the 
mongo-c-driver is under /usr/local/src/mongo-c-driver/, 
then configure the nsf interface via the following 
command from nsf*/library/mongodb/  

   ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/ns/lib --with-nsf=../../ \
   	       --with-mongo=/usr/local/src/mongo-c-driver/src/,/usr/local/src/mongo-c-driver

I had to add MONGO_HAVE_STDINT to the EXTRA_FLAGS 
of library/mongodb/Makefile.in on MacOS X 

    EXTRA_CFLAGS	= @PKG_CFLAGS@ -DMONGO_HAVE_STDINT

TODO: remove the hardcoded define flag in Makefile.in

In order to run the sample script, 
  * first start the mongdb (eg. mongod)

  * go to your nsf source directory

  * make sure, the c-driver libraries are on the library path
    (assuming the the c-driver was installed in /usr/local/lib)

    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:`pwd`

  * run 

    ./nxsh library/mongodb/example-nsf-mongo.tcl
 
    The script is using the low level interface (nsf::mongo) and has a
    few insert, query and delete statements, some of these are
    commented out.

 * run 

    ./nxsh library/mongodb/example-nx-mongo.tcl
 
    This example script is using the higher level object oriented
    interface for nx (nx::mongo).

* Further sample-scripts:

    ./nxsh library/mongodb/example-nx-bi.tcl
    ./nxsh library/mongodb/example-nx-reference-one.tcl
    ./nxsh library/mongodb/example-nx-reference-many.tcl
    ./nxsh library/mongodb/example-nsf-gridfs.tcl


After running the scripts, you should see output like the one below.

   % /usr/local/bin/mongo
   MongoDB shell version: 2.4.4-pre-
   connecting to: test
   > use tutorial
   switched to db tutorial
   > db.persons.find();
