Use of protoc vs parseFromString

[PsychicNoodles]

Just a brief question on your decision with decoding raw protobufs:

Why did you opt to use the protoc command line tool in a subprocess instead of sticking to the generated functions, like in the old demo? I don't really know enough about protobufs or the tooling you used to understand the pros and cons by looking over the code. I presume there's a good reason since you are requiring an additional, external dependency.

pgoapi use ParseFromString. I added protoc for debugging reasons. So it isnt required and there will be no error if you dont have it.

Ahh, I see. I was always running with debug mode on, so when I saw the message that protoc was not on the PATH I got a bit worried.
