Awesome. Now if I figure this out from C# and Ruby we'll be complete on
that feature.

I can't tell you how many crazy things I tried to get this to work. I
was actually at the beginning of trying to replace the nested classes
with C++ Namespaces in API code upstream. I feel a little silly that I
didn't try renaming the classes.

If turns out that we've got our first place of really needig conditional
compilation per version. So I added support for that, although some
stuff really needs to be reorganized now.

Also, there are some things about the type renaming which broke Java, so
I didn't enable NdbDictionary.i for java until I figure out what the
problem is.

Good idea here.
