Checked in.  Though, the patch didn't apply cleanly to CVS head so you=20
should get the latest code from CVS and check that it's OK.

Also, could you please add some documentation?  In particular, the=20
cr/doc/configoptions.html file should list all the config files for the S=
PU.

It looks like patches 4 and 5 add demo programs in the spu/tracker/=20
directory.  That's probably not the best place.  All the deme programs=20
go under the progs/ directory.  Could you redo your patches?

Perhaps you could add that info to the Cr docs.
