Support for the native project (C++)

Gradle now support native compilation (C++) and it would be great if this plugin could natively support this. The big problem is how the native project differ from the java project in Gradle. However, I'm confident that we can find a way to support both at the same time with minimal code duplication. I'm willing to help on this contribution but some guideline on the roadmap of this plugin would be required. The code is extremely Java project centric and some big change would be required in order to support both Java and C++. As for some background about me, I have been working with protobuf in a C++ environment compiled with Gradle. I had to hacked together a native plugin for protobuf with what was available at the time. I cannot contribute the code directly has it was really a one off solution but I do have idea on how we can make this possible for longer term.

Ideas? Thought? Complain?
