[Openmcl-devel] Alpha-testing 0.14

[Sven Van Caekenberghe]

I did some test of 0.14 (latest CVS update of today). 

My xml-rpc code all compiled and ran fine (as far as I could tell): this means that simple MP usage has remained unchanged. 

I also ran Eric Marsden's cl-bench Benchmarks, comparing 0.13.4 to 0.14, on my PowerBook G4 / 667 (Gigabit Ethernet, thus no L3 cache). All benchmark code compiled and ran OK (or so it seemed). 

All this seems quite nice for an alpha version: I was trying to find some bugs ;-)
