Kafka 0.8 Support

[Lanzaa]

Kafka 0.8 is fairly far along in the development process. Should there be a kafka-python branch targeting the new protocol?

I am pretty close to having the 0.8 protocol implemented. It is a complete rewrite, so it's taking a bit of effort. Once the protocol is done and some basic tests are in place I will push what I have to a 0.8 branch. From there I will start working on the higher level APIs

@Lanzaa I just pushed what I've got so far for 0.8 if you're interested. The protocol is mostly finished, but there's still some work left on the actually useful APIs (producer, consumers, queue, iterator, etc).
