GrAL 0.2 - Release notes

• Compilers & Platforms: Compiles with g++ 2.95 and 3.0.x on Sun Solaris and Linux.
  In principle ;-) GrAL 0.2 also compiles with KAI KCC. The only problem are the hash tables heavily used in GrAL, which are not in the standard and also not in KAI's STL. [If anyone is interested, I used internally a hacked version of SGI's hash_map.]
  A cleaner solution will be to switch to STLport altogether. Unfortunately, STLport seems (seemed?) to have problems with KAI KCC (or vice versa), so the issue is postponed to one of the next releases.
  On SGI Irix platforms using gcc (IRIX 6.5), I encountered problems with the SGI assembler which seems to have problems with symbol names > 1024 bytes. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, the GNU assembler cannot be used on this platform.
