Andrew Poelstra 46969b3396 Replace PatriciaTree with HashMap for UTXO set 
We get a speed up (~5%) and memory savings (~10%) on initial sync from
using a HashMap, though it's hard to tell precisely how much savings
because it's quite nonlinear.

I haven't tested de/serialization. Some work needs to be done there to
split up the UTXO set since it takes forever to saveload.

Rust Bitcoin Library

This library is badly incomplete --- though at this point it is perhaps stable enough that pull requests could be accepted.

Currently development is following the needs of the Wizard's Wallet, which is a "lite" wallet which does SPV validation but maintains a full UTXO index. Its purpose is to be a usable-though-risky wallet which supports experimental user-facing features.

Pull requests to generalize the library or introduce new use cases would be great.

Building

To build, start by obtaining cargo. Then just run cargo build. To run the test cases, do cargo test. Note that the tests must pass (and reasonably complete unit tests provided for new features) before any submissions can be accepted.
