[multiprecision] Request permision to merge to release.
I'd like to ask permission to merge the multiprecision lib to release. Note that as things stand I'm still chasing down test failures, but these are now mostly down to: * Things that work locally, but the testers haven't cycled yet. * 300s timeouts - mostly from the intel compiler :-( Aside: in an effort to reduce the number of timeouts, I've basically gutted some of the tests when the compiler is Intel, and I think I have all the build times under 20s on my Linux box, yet I'm still getting 300s timeouts on some tester machines, either those machines are seriously underpowered or I'm missing something here :-( Cheers, John.

Cool! Great! <snip>

Don't know if this is the case here... But I have encountered excessive compile times with Intel compilers in the past. They Typically arose in large projects or with large files that were integrated within Visual Studio, but using ICC. The Intel compiler would keep grabbing memory until it basically reached a crawl --- doing essentially nothing but disk swapping with the operating system VM manager, and all but forgetting the actual compilation task at hand. It might be interesting if you try to observe the state of memory consumption during one of those excessively long compile runs. Again, I really don't know if this applies in our situation here or if ICC just has a tough time with templates and optimizations. Anyway, thanks for all your efforts. Best regards, Chris.

You need to add you library to libs/libraries.htm, and to libs/maintainers.txt. Also, are there any expected test failures you can mark up? It's currently quite hard to get a handle on the results.

Done: there are a couple of Clang and Intel failures I need to investigate, but most were timeouts. Note that I haven't marked up any VC++ failures since: a) Most of the test results are rather out of date, and b) Some (but not all) of those that aren't, have strange failures which don't occur locally (http://tinyurl.com/ccgfasx), Googling suggests these may be caused by corrupted .pdb files, so I'm not sure what I can do about that...

I made a couple of changes to libs/libraries.htm. Feel free to merge.

Thanks. Merged. John.
