Nested Object Inverted Search Engine

This is a native library meant to be linked into other projects and will
expose a C API.

It's a full text index and query system that understands the semi structured
nature of JSON, and will allow:

 * Stemmed word/fuzzy match
 * Case sensitive exact word and sentence match
 * Arbitrary boolean nesting
 * Greater than/less than matching
