Percy++ / PIR in C++

Change Log

Version 0.7.1 (2007-06-17):: (Based on patches from Len Sassaman ) Added support for *BSD stat(1) in testclient, and testclient now does additional sanity checks and auto-generates the test database if it doesn't exist (or isn't readable). Added the makefile argument "distclean" to clean up extraneous files. Utilities now display the current version number when given the argument --version. When recovering from Byzantine servers and HardRecover is invoked, a command-line message is displayed.
Version 0.7 (2007-04-03):: The Guruswami-Sudan implementation has been changed to a much more effecient algorithm. This saves about 70% of the runtime in the presence of Byzantine servers. Set the environment variable PIRC_NAIVE=1 to revert to the old algorithm for comparison.
Version 0.6 (2007-03-14): Thanks to M. Jason Hinek, the dependency on MuPAD has been removed. All computations are now done natively in C++ using NTL.
Version 0.5 (2007-03-02): Initial release
