[Alec W. <al...@br...>]

Picard release 1.76
28 August 2012

- IntervalListTools.java: Added scatter (to support scatter-gather 
parallelism) to IntervalList.

- ProgressLogger.java: Synchronized record() method to make class 
thread-safe.

- Significant code refactoring in IlluminaBasecallsToSam; overhaulded 
threading model to improve CPU utilization; added test for Tile comparator.

- Set SortingCollection.destructiveIteration true by default (as was the 
original intent), in order to enable earlier GC of no-longer-needed 
SAMRecords.
