+ Version 0.6 (protocol not changed; ABI expended)
+ - The parsing macro can deal with the references, provided that you add
+ the relevant annotations (using GRAS_ANNOTE(size,field_name))

+ Version 0.5 (protocol not changed; ABI changed)
+ - Allow to off turn the cycle detection code in data exchange at
+ compilation time. It should be at run time, but I'm short of time (and
+ the config stuff is still broken). That way, we keep dict of of the
+ critical path, which is good because the performance is poor:
+ - search not dichotomial yet
+ - dynar give no way to access their content and memcpy everytime
+ - In composed data description (struct, ref and so on), stop foolness of
+ keeping the subtype's ID, but store the type itself. This keeps sets out
+ of the critical path, which is good since they rely on dynar and
+ dictionnaries. The only loose of that is that we cannot detect the
+ redeclaration of a structure/union with another content (but I'm not sure
+ the code detected this error well before anyway). We still can detect
+ the redefinition discrepancy for the other types.
+ - Use a whole bunch of optimisation flags (plus -fno-strict-aliasing since
+ it breaks the code because of type-punning used all over the place).
+ This breaks on all non-gcc architectures (for now).
+
+ All those changes (plus the buffer of last time) allow me to gain 2 order
+ of magnitude on cruel tests consisting of 800000 array of integers on two
+ level of a hierarchical structure (200 secondes -> 4 secondes)
+
+ API change:
+ - the selector of reference must now return the type it points to, not
+ the ID of this type.

Version 0.4 (protocol changed; ABI not changed)
- Allow to pass --gras-log argument to processes in simulation mode. Really.
