Simple C API for Oculus Rift orientation info

SimpleLibOVR

A simple C wrapper for the messy C++ Oculus Rift API so the orientation information can be used easily by other languages. Provides additional wrappers for C#, JavaScript, and Python. The API consists of three functions, demonstrated in JavaScript below:

var libOVR = require('./SimpleLibOVR');
if (!libOVR.setup()) throw new Error('Could not connect to Oculus Rift');
console.log(libOVR.info());
setInterval(function() { console.log(libOVR.orientation()); }, 1000);

Note that using the C# wrapper on OS X with Mono requires the use of a config file named YourApp.exe.config and placed in the same folder as YourApp.exe:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <dllmap dll="SimpleLibOVR" target="libSimpleLibOVR.dylib" />
</configuration>

Right now building only works with OS X, which is done by running "make".
