Task: implement gencpp

Implements generator gencpp for language cpp

Parse template file meta information

Template file can contains a optional meta header, e.g.

---
dir: aaa
file: {{.Name}}.go
var1: xxx
var2: yyy
---

{{/* Template body */}}

The meta header starts with a line --- and ends with a line ---. Contents of meta contains many key: value pairs.

The structure of meta maybe like:

type TemplateMeta struct {
	Dir    string
	File   string
	Date   string
	Values map[string]string
}

protobuf

just wanted to aks a few things.
this looks really good.
I like hwo the templates are seperated into parts. Makes it very easy.

I currently work with protobufs, goang, c++ and QT.
SO at the moment i am using this:
https://github.com/moul/protoc-gen-gotemplate
Its nice and generates the GRPC with any bindings because its based on gokit.
Here is a good example: https://github.com/moul/protoc-gen-gotemplate/tree/master/examples/go-kit

SO this gets me a Service and Client and structs.
Not bad but i also need to gen a fair bit of database code (using boltdb), a file storgae layer (using minio), and some c++ and QML (for client).

So you seem to be using your own DSL as a basis to gen from, and i was thinking how best to map to it. Any ideas ?
