TODO (upgrade from mongo 2.4 to mongo 3.0.6)

[alexbevi]

This is just a list of items that need to be addressed during the mongo3 upgrade

• [ ] fix build system to properly select architecture (currently force 64 bit)
• [ ] verify release builds work
• [ ] upgrade qt?
• [ ] upgrade qscintilla?
• [ ] fix ssh/ssl mode
• [ ] CMAKE: Add step to python generate_error_codes.py error_codes.err error_codes.h error_codes.cpp in src/third-party/mongodb/src/mongo/base
• [x] Going to have to figure out how to update from spidermonkey to v8 ...

@alexbevi - First of all, thanks for working on this! That being said, I signed up just to tell you (before you went to a lot of work) that MongoDB will be switching to SpiderMonkey in 3.2. I think it'd make more sense to code towards that. I'm a little swamped at the moment but feel free to mention what things you'd like help on.

I'd also like to suggest that maybe we start with the essentials then move to the "nice-to-haves". I feel like the original devs put too much on their plates and that's why 0.9.x never came out...just my opinion though.

[alexbevi]

@toswubber I only switched because mongo switched in 2.8 (and i'm targeting 3.0.6). Since SM was the original engine, I don't think falling back will be too difficult.

For the moment, my goals are as follows (in order of priority):

1) Get it to compile against mongo 3 (Linux x86_64 only) 2) Fix build to also work for Windows/OSX 3) Fix SSH/SSL options 4) Fix FIXMEs in the code I added to try to get things to work 5) Pull request

Closed this as after talking with @stennie, it didn't make any sense to continue. Going to try and re-do this using the mongo-cxx-driver instead
