Draft version 0.3 has the following changes:

1) added a PerformanceCounter for unix systems based on gettimeofday. I 
hope it works, as I don't have a unix system to test it.

2) added comments.

I have boost jam on my pc (I used it to compile boost), so I will see if 
I can get a jam file for my project (it's a matter of having free time 
to study boost jam).
