[Shootout-list] Bigloo matrix-norm #2

Hello,
Two notes about the bigloo matrix-norm benchmark:
1. You can just delete Bigloo #1. It uses a sub-par algorithm
(different from the one used in the problem description), which is
*unbelievably* slow (I wrote it; I won't complain to see it go).
2. Bigloo #2 reports an error in the output, but it gives
1.2742241159529
while the gcc version gives
1.274224152
I think these are close enough that the bigloo program should be
counted as succeeding; is there a way to check that the matrix norms
are accurate to 5 digits or something, and call it good?
Thanks!
Will
