I found it easiest to commit the protoc binaries right to this repo. We can take them out if we needed...more of a suggestion.
I also found it easiest to add a download and codgen script similar to what exists in our other clients for fetching the various .proto file dependencies and generating messaging code for them. This will do until we possibly migrate to buf or whatever.
