Brave users don't need it, they enjoy the quirky wonders of MPI ;-)

Committed now. Meld is a frigging excellent tool, I did not even get the 
merging problems I feared in the contest tree.

I did not drop the docs, we can just as well have it documented. I bet

fead039 Fix linux-x86-64-icc target for HAVE_NSS case (Frank Dittrich)
ed9ee22 Fix --list=? output (new-line/trailing space) (Frank Dittrich)
47def68 Markov: first convert start % value, then end % value (Frank 
Dittrich)
2c5a95a Markov: allow start and/or end to be specified in percent (Frank 
Dittrich)

I need to fix my icc, but your HAVE_NSS patch can't be wrong.
