This is my private version of the WHIZARD source tree. It contains new features
(most notably support for the three site higgsless model) as well as (most
likely) new bugs. Look at ./configure --help for help on how to activate these
features. The most important changes are

-------------

- Support for using an external O'Mega tree via tha --enable-omega-external=...
  parameter to configure.
- Support for the three-site higgsless model. For this you need to use my
  private O'Mega tree (--enable-omega-external). In addition you need to enable
  the support via --enable-threeshl=... where "..." is the path to the threeshl
  runtime library. You can download both the library and O'Mega from my homepage.
  Look into conf/models for the names of the models, and into the model files
  for an explanation of the parameters.
- Splitting of the amplitudes generated by O'Mega and WHIZARD for colored flavor
  sums into smaller pieces. This is useful as these can be several MB in size,
  causing the compiler to choke occasionally. The code generated from the split
  runs at least as fast as that generated from the single file version.
- Some out-of-bounds conditions are fixed that are present in the original code.
- A version of the standard model containing an effective gluon-gluon-higgs
  coupling. This is untested and not indented for serious usage.
- Note that you need autotools and have to run autoconf to generate a ./configure
  script.

-------------

- More aggressive splitting of amplitudes, operating on individual terms in a
  flavor sum.
- Highly hackish experimental support for OMP shared memory multiprocessing in
  colorized processes by parallelizing the helicity loop. The modifications are
  performed in the splitting code and therefore require splitting to be
  activated.
- Generation of several O'Mega amplitudes at once in the build process. The
  necessary changes probably broke CompHEP et al.
- An experimental tool for removing redundant phasespace channels from the
  channel setup based on information from a previous run found in tools/.
- An even more experimental tool for splitting pp -> n*j + X type processes
  into their individual components.
- Support for the QCD corrections of the heavy quark widths now implemented in
  the three-site model.
- Rebase on WHIZARD 1.93.

YOU ARE USING THIS VERSION AT YOUR OWN RISK; DON'T BLAME ME (OR THE ORIGINAL
AUTHORS) IF ANYTHING DOESN'T WORK AS EXPECTED. However, feel free to send any
bugs and suggestions to the email above; don't expect support though.
