Happy Fourth of July to all of us in the United States today!  (Well, and to
everyone else who cares, too! :-)
===============================================

A few recent updates:

* Isaac Gouy found the problem causing the Lua Objinst program to fail.
* Nicolas Niclausse provided an update to heapsort using the 'ets' module,
   which provides a *tremendous* (like 25-times) performance improvement.

General:
* I fixed a few off-by-one errors in heapsort and hash that caused several
    Erlang/SML/Mozart programs to fail.
* I revised my HTML generator utility to only update when the source file
    changes (so less CVS activity for anyone using CVS).
* ElastiC's homepage link was to the wrong thing.  I've corrected that.

WANTED:
* Does anyone know how to get Mozart/Oz to provide more digits of 
floating-point output?  It seems to truncate at 5 significant digits, which
means it doesn't produce correct output for some tests.

* Lua Echo implementation (the only missing program for this language).

* What other languages do people want to see in the shootout?
