DAVEM TPF Grant August 2011 report

As per my grant conditions, here is a report for the August period.

Spent it mainly working on fixing the design flaws in re_evals
(i.e.  /(?{...})/ ). I now have it mostly fixed for the literal and
non-qr case, in the branch davem/re_eval

Over the last month I have averaged 14 hours per week.

As of 2011/08/31: since the beginning of the grant:
 
  77.4 weeks
 864.2 total hours
  11.2 average hours per week

There are 36 hours left on the grant.
