An up-to-date list is only achievable if you run everyday a script on the
ftp-server which scanns the directory and process all *.set files to get the
information. It is possible but must be done by mark. A similar script was
written by me for my system an it generates the "Ported Soft" page on my
website.

No ! The problem is that gcc is still not able to compile it correct. I used
gdb to see what could be changed, but it looked to complex for me :(
The compiled binary crashes on calculating line 24 of blob.pov.
The problem is in the sub "intersection elimination"

see the benchmarks posted some times before here
