   Bonjour

      As of tonight and for about a month (Hurray!!!) I will be on 
vacation, and for the most part totally offline. So as not to possibly 
delay the 1.33 release, I state here clearly that anybody is welcome to 
check-in any (useful) change to the libraries I maintain (Quaternions, 
Octonions & Special Functions).

      As far as these libraries stand today, for the platforms that are 
taken into account for the release, no outstanding problem seem to 
remain (either the platform passes or is marked as an expected failure). 
There remains a vexing point with respect to some platforms (notably 64 
bits platforms) where the libraries fail because of "long double" 
issues. I believe these are due to a bug (or severe QOI problem) in 
libstdc++, but unfortunately so far no progress seems to have been made 
to solve the problem if indeed libstdc++ is the culprit, and I am loath 
to mark these platforms as expected failures (heck, one of them I my 
development system!). I propose we leave these as they stand now, and 
re-investigate after the release.

   Merci et bonnes vacances!

         Hubert Holin
