Yes, but at this time I think we should give just up on this, and use
latest cgminer. Also, only have it built in GPU-enabled builds of JtR.
This mining stuff is fast-paced - things quickly become outdated.
If the cgminer maintainers chose to let CPU-mining go, so be it.
We're being late.

Right. Lukas - please help Rafael discuss this with cgminer upstream.

Right. I think it should be "parallella" branch, and we should ask
upstream's opinion on whether they'd be interested in merging it in.
