A nightly Cron job now tests checks the Pooma code for regressions
using a sequential Linux computer running gcc 3.0.  Since the code
changes infrequently, I do not plan to distribute daily results unless
someone requests them.

These two questions remain:

        2) What other configurations on a sequential Linux computer do
you want tested?
