Mike Hearn 0e513c0c02 Add BoundedOverheadBlockStore. This is suitable for usage on constrained devices like Android phones that cannot afford to store the chain headers in RAM.
On a MacBook pro with this store, the chain can be downloaded at about 2000 blocks per second. Difficulty transitions are not optimized but take around 50 msec. On a Google Nexus S the chain can be downloaded (via wifi) at 200 blocks per second and difficulty traversals take 2 seconds. At this time the profiles on both devices are dominated by verification costs, not storage.

To get started, ensure you have the latest JDK installed and then just run "ant".

- A JAR will be placed in dist/
- JavaDocs will be placed in docs/
- Unit tests will be run

Now ensure you're running a BitCoin node locally and run the example app:

   cd out
   java com.google.bitcoin.examples.PingService

It will print a BitCoin address. If you send coins to it, you should get them back a few minutes later when a block is solved.
