*****************************************************************************
+*** 0.4.1 ***
+- Cleaned up the LPC2148 demo in main.c, it is now well documented and
+ explains everything, I assumed too much stuff to be "obvious".
+- Included a Makefile in the LPC2148 demo that builds in THUMB mode.
+- Added a spreadsheet in the documentation that describes the advantages
+ and disadvantages of the various optimization options (both GCC options and
+ ChibiOS/RT options), very interesting read IMO. No .xls available, ODF only.
+- The GCC option +falign-functions=16 is now default in the Makefile, it is
+ required because of the MAM unit into the LPC chips, without this option
+ the code performance is less predictable and can change of some % points
+ depending on how the code is aligned in the flash memory, unpredictabilty
+ is bad for a RTOS. This option however increases the code size slightly
+ because of alignment gaps.
+- Fine tuning in the scheduler code for improved performance.

*** 0.4.0 ***
- NEW, added a benchmark functionality to the test suite. The benchmark
measures the kernel throughput as messages per second and context switches
